More Bourbon & Branch
 | The first time we se William Powell in the 1934 film The Thin Man, he's educating a nightclub's bartender on the proper way to shake cocktails: "Always have rhythm in your shaking," Powell tells them. "Now a Manhattan you shake to a fox-trot time, a Bronx to a two-step time and a Martini you always shake to waltz time." |
-- Eric Felten, "How's your drink? Cocktails, Culture and the Art of Drinking Well"

Your dated-but-untitled posts are still not showing up on your feed. I just discovered your post on walking yesterday. Rebecca Solnit has a book on the history of walking and another on getting lost. If you read them you could tell me if I should read them. I've admired what I've read of hers in Harper's.
