DRINK - Apotheke
We finally got around to checking out Apotheke NYC last night. Truly wonderful experience. With a long winded cocktail list that sounds more like a pharmacy than a bar (i.e. Heath & Beauty, Stress Relievers, Pain Killers, Aphrodisiacs, Stimulants, Pharmecuticals, Euphoric Enhancers, Therapeutic Treatments....), we were impressed by the brilliance of the mixologists (in white lab coats)...
They started us off with a small tasting of a strawberry tarragon mix...and we tried a cocktail with cilantro-infused Gin (paired with White Lillet, agave nectar, lemon juice, and muddled cucumber - mmmmmm).
But, we were most excited about the last menu category on the menu, 'House Remedies':
"Our house apothekers are ready to make a cocktail to remedy your specific ailment. Tell us what ails you, and we'll create the cocktail to fix it."
So we racked our brain for the perfect ailment, one that would inspire something light and delicious.... A "Unicorn and Dream deficiency"! And what we got was nothing short of the perfect fix. Sweet and sprite, the mysterious concoction hit all the notes of a perfect 'Unicorn Dream' flavor portfolio. When we asked what it was, they offered no detail. Complete with a star fruit garnish, we were astonished....and we'll go back with equally bizarre 'ailments' and see just what remedies are fixed up for us.
The location (on Doyers, in the heart of Chinatown) was hidden away, without obvious signage, but the interior was bold and beautiful, with lustrous wood detailing and dim lighting. The bar was beautifully laid out, with old bottles sprinkled amongst the name brand spirits...a true pharmaceutical approach to the classic mixology arena, without falling into gimmicky territory. We're impressed.
So, if you're looking for a unicorn fix, or other within the limits of the law, make your way downtown to Apotheke, and let them nurse you back to health.

Weight loss has become an obsession in a nation where 63% of the people are overweight and a startling 31% are obese. Clearly our modern lifestyle is not healthy. Many people are desperate to make a change and will try any \'magic-bullet\' weight loss cure that is offered - still the obesity rates climb. What are the reasons behind this trend? The stress of our lifestyles, toxicity in the environment, unhealthy processed food, improper nutrition habits, and lives spent in our cars, small offices and houses with little or no time in fresh air. Our lifestyles seem designed to make us fat.
