Cafe Emilie to become "60 West"

But those aren'r martinis. A martini is a specific drink: gin and vermouth chilled.

I'd like people to stop saying "ATM machine" too, but it ain't happening.

Or VET test.

customer ... "Please give me some extra au jus and also more dipping broth. Thanks"

You would be surprised to know some of the top tier restaurants that have bags/boxes of au jus and other sauces and mixes in the kitchen.

That's why a manhattan is called a manhattan, a gibson is called a gibson, and cosmopolitan is called a cosmopolitan. None of them are martinis. I never understood that.

Why not call a place a "margarita bar" and serve whiskey sours and sangria?

I think a bar that is going to focus on a lot of different kinds of cocktails that are shaken and served up, would be more accurately called a cocktail lounge.

If they start adding flavors to my Manhattans they're going to get in real trouble! LOL It seems like now days also anything can get away being called a Martini as long as it's served in the traditional martini glass. The meaning of martini has certainly been changed from the old times. Of course I guess bartenders just don't want to be original enough to come up with a variety of names for their drinks and they can attract more attention with the name Martini.

One more for the redundancy issue: VIN number!! ARGH!

I'd like my apple pie a la mode with ice cream.

Im definitly a fan of the new name! 60 West is pretty catchy.

Gosh, I had no idea our little name change would cause such a ruckus! Thank you very much, Robin, for posting our new information. We are all very excited for the change & for our new menus. We really feel the new name reflects what we have grown into over the past few years.

I will be announcing a special offer for our fellow forumites within the next couple of weeks, so please keep your eyes out!

And Ron, please come by soon and let me buy you a Martini.

Regards,

Les, I'd love to, if for no other reason than to find out if you are the Les Pollitt that I know from childhood.

but, if you put anything other than olives and vermouth in my martini . . .

Ron,

Never would I mess with a drink! But, you do have a PM!
