Don’t you just love Thursdays? With just one day until the weekend, it seems like anything goes. When I was living in Jamaica Plain, it was all about the late-night Milky Way dance sesh (until they changed locations and became the “Lame Way”) but now that this crow has made a nest in New York, it’s all about the happy hour.
My co-worker and I have had a rough week (haven’t we all?) and after a day of slangin’ shoes on the internet and to the fine tourists of SoHo, we decided a cocktail was in order. We walked a bit on W. Broadway-just off Canal St. in SoHo- and stumbled upon Sanctuary T, a little cafe/restaurant that had a cocktail list that was too good to be true. Check out this little number-
fresh brewed green tea, tequila, triple sec and muddled lemon and limes
We decided on a ordering a little snack to hold us off until dinner time. How about a plate of their fried marinated artichoke hearts with homemade tarter sauce? Definitely a good choice. Yum!
What sort of happy hour treats did you indulge in this week?
The Story of Mo
Told by Holly
Maureen (Mo) Sullivan is one of the three crows holding down the Jamaica Plain Nest. Originally from New Jersey, she is the first person to introduce the words “yuengling” and “taylor ham” into my vocabulary. Although she still enjoys these nostalgic tastes, her culinary palette goes far beyond these items. Mo is always ready to take on the challenge of a new dish, but is equally happy reinventing the classics. When it comes to beverages, Three Philosophers, Stone, La Chouffe or any other finely crafted brew will stop this crow mid flight. Her Kitchen philosophy is simple: no meal should be created without the accompaniment of great tunes and that the best dinner parties should end with dancing.
Living in a house filled with wonderful yet hungry roommates Mo has become a master at feeding the masses with home cooked meals. Some notable dishes include Vegetarian Chili, Vodka Sauce w/ Linguine, Baked Mac and Cheese, and who can forget all of the Pizza Plans! Mo also happens to be a member of the Crow Bake team, alongside Emily and Riane and has perfected the art of making cheesecakes. She never lets a friend’s birthday pass without whipping up a tasty treat; in return we jokingly refer to her as “Mama” Mo. It is her strong ties to family and friends as well as her inclusive nature that helps to keep us crows such a tight knit group.
