Toasties, the new year has almost officially begun for The Bartender.

To mark this, red wine was used to cut through the short rib/sirloin/foie gras burger, followed by theater.

Are you a theater buff? How often do you go to the movies? Have you seen Le Grande Bellezza?  Are you counting down the days til Night at the Museum 3? Looking forward to the Superbowl?  Little kid ballet?

Entertain us with stories of favorite entertainments! And stay healthy.
