Lynn and I had had it traipsing around NY late one recent Saturday afternoon and we were in a particularly receptive mood for a drink. We were staying at the Dream Hotel in NYC (see posts below) and felt like it was simple enough to get a drink at our hotel. There was a lounge in the Penthouse that was not open yet, but on the first floor near the entrance was Serafina where we got a nice Manhattan (me) and a truly memorable ginger martini (Lynn). This martini had large chunks of ginger which counterbalanced the tiny flecks of ice in her drink. The chunks of ginger gave the drink a (predictably) great ginger flavor and the coldness of the glass and ice helped maximize the pleasure of the drink.
