When it comes to drinks, conventional knowledge says that New York far exceeds Columbus in variety-- if you're willing to pay.
But maybe Columbus is catching up ... without the corresponding price tag.
For example:
When my friend Sam wanted to visit Columbus' Bristol Bar during her bachelorette party Labor Day weekend, I was eager to follow. Our book club met there nearly every month, drawn by the $2 martinis during happy hour.
But Bristol had just undergone some renovations and had introduced some new drinks.
Snow cones.
For $3 the bar fashioned a mixed drink over crushed ice in a traditional paper snow cone cup. My vodka-and-passion-fruit-cordial was tasty, messy, and cold. Maybe it's not as classy as a martini, but it sure is more fun.
I can't believe no one has thought of those here. In Baltimore, snow balls (basically snow cones, they're just called balls ... haha) are a HUGE thing. I don't care for them, but maybe I would if there were liquor in them!!
