"Beebe-Tron's "cocktail" comes as a glass of Portuguese white wine with a beautiful array of bitters, herbs and tinctures on an antique tray, with the idea that guests can mix to their liking."

"The tall and handsome beverage harbors two rums, Wray & Nephew Overproof and Botran, with spritzes of lime, passion fruit, pineapple, China-China Amer Liqueur and coconut Angostura foam."

"All the drinks on the list at Frontier exude an old-world charm. One charmer is Frontier's Raspberry Gin Buck, a tall, blush-hued cocktail that also can be ordered as a punch."

"One of the best drinks at Lincoln Square's Gather is the deep-red Overnight Sensation, which combines Tito's vodka, lime juice and a touch of simple syrup with muddled raspberries and blackberries."

"If it's a meat-free pizza you want, the Zephy ($11 for a small, $23 for a medium, $32 for a large) is the pie to beat."

"The sloppy joe's sweetly spicy barbecue sauce will get your face just as satisfactorily messy as it did at summer camp. The tangy sandwich ($9.25) comes with a side and a pickle."
