First on the list, Le Sarah B., an absinthe bar. They are self-proclaimed absinthe purists (note: I don't condone the use of this word in any context), so they don't burn the sugar cube. Instead, the pictured contraption drips ice water on the slotted spoon to dissolve the sugar cube so the alcohol becomes diluted. But really, can you still be a purist if it isn't real Absinthe??? FYI, the wormwood content in their absinthes is about 1%.
Still, it's a super classy place, and despite being purists, the servers were very friendly. And they gave us a free drink in exchange for a pic that my friend took on his Blackberry. Winning.
