If you are looking to brave the cold to find somewhere to drink this weekend then you need to check out Belle Reve from some of the people that brought you Employee’s Only. We were lucky enough to be invited this past Saturday for their “friends and family” event.
You order and you drink possibly ten of them while a cocktail you order and then worship. – Vincent Vitek
Vincent, an employee of EO for the last six years, is doing the cocktails or drinks, as he describes them. According to him the difference the between the two is a drink, you order and you drink possibly ten of them while a cocktail you order and then worship. They recently teamed up with Paul Gerard, formerly of Soho House and Patrick Fahey, of Macao Trading Co, Naked Lunch and Peggy Sue’s.
