WSJ Says We Fail As City of Serious Spirits

Hey, look. My first SideDish post. Go read it. It’s about Dallas. And Sidecars. And drinking. And hotel bars.

  1. It was wonderful. I printed it out and put it on the refrigerator.

  2. Nice point-out there, but does Dallas really want to be a “****tail town”? It’s just so blue-blood and effete. I guess I could be persuaded to order a sidecar at the Algonquin or the Mark Hopkins or something, but is my life really the poorer for not being able to get a good one at the Stoneleigh?

    A sidecar is something I picture Jessica Tandy ordering.

  3. I love you Eric Celeste. And Vicky Celeste. And Madison Celeste. And SideCars.

  4. Auntie Mame: Please dear, your Auntie Mame is hung. Run along to Ito and tell him to bring me a light breakfast – black coffee and a side car. Oh, oh. And a cold towel for your Auntie Vera.

    Patrick Dennis: Is she in the guest room again?

    Auntie Mame: Since Sunday, dear. Now run along to Ito and hurry my tray, darling. Your Auntie needs fuel!

    Patrick Dennis: Is the English lady sick, Auntie Mame?

    Auntie Mame: She’s not English, darling… she’s from Pittsburgh.

    Patrick Dennis: She sounded English.

    Auntie Mame: Well, when you’re from Pittsburgh, you have to do something.
