Drink? I think I will, thank you.

Based on the name of my blog one might assume that I enjoy an occasional alcoholic beverage. While I certainly do partake in the occasional (okay, frequent) libation, I chose the name of the blog with Webster's version in mind:

Main Entry: 1lush
Pronunciation: \ˈləsh\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English lusch soft, tender
Date: 1610
1 a : growing vigorously especially with luxuriant foliage b : lavishly productive: as (1) : fertile (2) : thriving (3) : characterized by abundance : plentiful (4) : prosperous, profitable 2 a : savory, delicious b : appealing to the senses c : opulent, sumptuous
synonyms see profuse
— lush·ly adverb
— lush·ness noun

The Urban Dictionary meaning is simply a coincidence.

However, that didn't stop me from finding the coolest new(ish) bar in Boston, Barbara Lynch's Drink. So I'm nearly a year late getting to the bar, but hey, I've been having babies! It's located on Congress St, across the street from another old fave Lucky's, in the area named Fort Point. The design is slick: more asian-inspired with lots of angles, and no bottles to be seen, but don't let that fool you, they are serious about their cocktails!

A friend visiting from NYC was gushing at how terribly cool it was to see a huge block of ice being chipped from to make cocktails, and after a few words with our genius bartender we realized champagne was not the right choice and that we needed to sample his expertise. Mixers like bitters and Cassis are in medicine droppers, and you won't find things like prepared sour mix in this joint.
