We spent an evening among the crowds at three of the hottest natural wine bars to find out. It’s 6 o’clock in Dimes Square and everyone is Dressed with a capital D. The temperature is New York-in-July, so the heat comes from everywhere: the sidewalk vents, the cars, the sun overhead. It’s a Tuesday, but by midsummer, everyone knows that days of the week are irrelevant—Tuesday is to Sunday is to Monday afternoon. Which is to say, people are out. And they are drinking.

The bigger they are, the harder they’ll tea. We’ve been saying this for almost two years now!

Missing out on incremental sales opportunities? In this economy for brewers? Not the move.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

In between the disco era and the modern cocktail renaissance, there existed a gray area in the mid-’90s. Drinks like the Cosmo and Sex on the Beach were still go-to orders for most bar-goers, but a wave of mixologists began the practice of riffing on classics and opting for fresh-squeezed citrus over syrupy sweet and sour mixes. One such bartender was Tony Abou-Ganim, a.k.a. “The Modern Mixologist,” and arguably his most famous creation was the Cable Car: a Sidecar riff made with spiced rum, orange curaçao, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup served in a cinnamon sugar-rimmed glass.

In fact, many of the area's first producers came from prestigious wine regions in Europe, including Germany, Switzerland, and, of course, Italy, and they brought their heritage and traditions with them.

Short cruises or not, Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas offers some of the line's best in class features on a brand new ship.
