Earth Day or Snow Day?


Today is Earth Day, a day we would normally be seeing green grass and early Spring flowers nodding their heads in the breeze. Unfortunately, all of us at the Hedonistic Bar are bracing for a 6-10 inch snowstorm tonight! This is not so much Spring Fever weather but Cabin Fever "Oh my gosh, get me outta here" weather. In order to tame these desperate thoughts of escape to milder climates we've become quite adept at discovering getaways within a few minutes drive.
One of our favorite places to go to inject a little vibrancy in our day is Eat Street Social. Here you can indulge in so many tastes you will soon forget the dreary outside weather. The large windows at the front beckon you to come in and investigate the dark interior. As you cross the threshold you face the bar which is the most prominent feature of the room. We prefer to grab seats there so we can watch the bartenders craft cocktails and soda fountain treats.
Our personal preference is to go during hours when traffic is slightly lighter so we have the chance to linger without displacing other potential patrons. It also gives us the opportunity to engage the bartenders about their recommendations and bar techniques. We have been to ESS in the later hours when the restaurant is busting at the seams both with people and noise. If you are more of a casual, take your time and hang out in a mild atmosphere person - check out ESS in off peak hours. If you get your kicks from being in the middle of a giant party - go in the evenings to join the crowd.
The Hedonists enjoy splitting plates and cocktails in order to maximize the number of tastes we get to enjoy. We believe in responsible enjoyment of spirits so instead of each person kicking back 3 or more cocktails, everyone orders one and passes it around to their companions to take a sip. For our designated sober driver, they don't have to miss out on the deliciousness of the ESS bar, there is the soda fountain. The Orange Dream makes us think of Summer days and Dreamsicle ice cream bars.....mmmm......
