June '07 Tidbits

Another legitimately good use of the internet (besides Cafe Drake) exists at www.mr-lee-catcam.de. Thanks to Octavio for turning us on to a webpage which posts photos taken from a mini digi-cam attached to the proprietor's pet cat. Big Ups as well to Amee Spondike for an introduction to www.charlesandmarie.com , a shopping and travel information site recalling the glory years (1996-2000) of Wallpaper magazine.

And a pat on the back to ourselves after reading New York magazine's latest report on cocktail trends, which lists libations celebrated here since the August 2005 online debut of Cafe Drake: champagne based concoctions, revisited classics a la the Sidecar, pomegranate madness and tea and sake-spiked martinis. Continue to get the scoop first at Cafe Drake but throw a bone to the slow kids in the class at http://nymag.com/nightlife/articles/04/cocktails/trends.htm.
