Shameless Plug: It’s A Wonderful Life: The Radio Show

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Falcon’s new Christmas show, It’s A Wonderful Life, opens tonight at the Monmouth Theater in Newport. The entire concept is the 40s– from the moment you step in and throughout the show. I’m hoping to read a few reviews for the show sometime soon, but until then, let me assure you that it’s great, and a fun thing for your whole family. Make a reservation by going to the website and say you heard about it on wine me, dine me. An added bonus: you’ll get to see me working the front of house in period costume.

If you are headed to or from the show you might want to stop at Chalk for a period cocktail to put you in the mood, we were there last night. They put together a theme to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the repeal of prohibition, 1933 I believe. Molly the bartender, did a bunch of research and put together a series of period cocktails. Each one was better than the last, they were perfect, not that bar mix crap REAL cocktails. BTW Molly is a hoot you will love her, she is a sweetheart, she put a lot of effort in this and it came off very well, ask her to tell you the story she uncovered about George Remus, a famous Cincinnati lawyer and bootlegger during the prohibition era. It has been claimed that he was the inspiration for the title character Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Molly’s Scofflaw, Maidens, Prayer, Sazerac were all perfect, I think we are going to have to go back tonight to try the rest, the place was packed and rockin around 10 to midnight. I think this is the last night so If you can do drop in try one, Molly, cocktail shaker in each hand, going at it, will take you back in time.
