Gramercy Tavern – Friday Dinner Series

January 10, 2014 by TheBetterHalf 7 Comments

As you may have noticed, 2014 is shaping up to be a big year at ChezCateyLou. In addition to making some aesthetic changes to the site, we’re going to be posting a weekly restaurant review. New York City is home to some of the best restaurants in the world and Cate and I try to get to as many of them as possible. We’re going to post a review each Friday to give our readers some dining suggestions for the weekend.

Thanksgiving Punch is a delicious rum cocktail full of warm spices and fresh lemon juice. It is perfect to serve before, during, or after your Thanksgiving feast!

Last week on ChezCateyLou, Cate gave you all the recipes you need to put together a successful Thanksgiving meal.
