To clean out Julian's drink and to celebrate me finishing my exams.

We are gathering at Smith's tonight at 6:30

The croft was opened at 1:00pm EST to give it that 5-6 hour decant time where I like my croft 77.

Apologies for my tardiness in posting pictures and TNs.

Walking along MacDougal Street yesterday, Smiths appeared to be closed. In the permanent sense. This grave news was confirmed by a phone call this evening.

Shame: the best steak tartare in NYC.
