Enid's

This story actually begins on Saturday night. A nice mix of booze and friends. But no bloody marys. So off to bed we all go (not together) eager to wake up to...



Ahhh yes...another Sunday. The lone survivors of Jonas' birthday party/Annie and Jonas' holiday party reconvened for a bit of a hangover special at Enid's in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. You can find one of the best bloody marys in the city located at the corner of Manhattan Ave. and Driggs.


Look at all those veggies, you know Danielle is fully satisfied.

Danielle's rating - 3.75 stars

Jonas' rating- 3.5 stars
One of the better ones i have had....yet, not fully convinced.


This Sunday we had a guest with us, known only as The Tingler. A great companion for brunch, BUT he has never been introduced to the joys of breakfast drinking (crazy, i know). Due to the afore mentioned holiday party, we all needed a little hair of the dog. And in no time The Tingler was enjoying his first ever breakfast bloody mary.


Tingler's rating- "What's in a bloody mary? Who decided to mix that together? Genius!"



Annie's rating-3.75 stars

Enid's bloody mary salad is reminiscent of Linda's signature drink. Linda's offers, in my opinion, the apex of the most sought after morning cocktail.

Stone Park Cafè

On a rainy Sunday afternoon Jonas, Annie and Danielle headed towards Belleville (a French cafe in Park Slope) for a tasty bloody Mary, but to our dismay they only had MIMOSAS!!!!






Can you imagine our utter longing and broken hearts. We decided to indulge in brunch, which was fantastic! Annie had the the omelet de jour and Danielle tested the Mediterranean baked eggs while Jonas indulged in steak and eggs..Oh My!!! Lovely breakfast, but with no bloody Mary were not satisfied.

So...our journey took us to Stone Park Cafè. Good bloodies, slightly heavy on the horseradish, strong and a giant caper to tie everything together. The bartender was extremely attentive and had a quick remedy for Annie's persistent hiccups (one part soda water, squeeze of lemon and a splash of bitters)!! Over all we were pleased and went home happy.



Jonas' rating for Stone Park=3

Well....that isn't really how the story ended we actually went down the street Loki and had two more rounds! Loki is also in Park Slope and although it is a sports bar, for a Sunday it was low key and we had three couches to ourselves. The bloody Marys were smoky, STRONG and had a pickle swimming in the glass.

Oh, Robin Des Bois , hath God forsaken you?

Too much horseradish!!! Three tiny rotten emaciated olives, and a 12oz glass (no pint?) one bite of the celery stick and it sank.

Yummy food, super yummy crab cake benni, but even though the place was empty we got seated in the worst seat in the house. As far as atmosephere, eclectic ephemera and beautiful chandeliers.

Bar Tano

Located underneath the F line near the 4th ave/9th stop, Bar Tano was an oasis amidst a caotic NYC Sunday morning apartment hunt.

We noticed the quaint Italian charm right away. Our eyes went straight to the beautiful wallpaper behind the bar and ornate tin ceilings over head.

The service was prompt and friendly, food was fabulous and the Bloody Mary strong.
Although, disappointed with the lackluster garnish...no celery stick??? (we do need something to munch on) overall it was sure to do the deed.
Perfect blend of horseradish and worcestershire, plenty of lemon and lime make for a staple recipe.
We would recommend this spot for a great, classic Mary.
