Oh yeah, let the consumption of adult beverages begin! As evening fell, my wife and I met our daughter Jessica and our son-in-law Jason at a fancy place called The Aviary. They had been working. We had been all over Manhattan.

There were many fancy, overpriced drinks served and enjoyed.

My main adult beverage involved fancy booze in a round bottle with a ship in it, and a candle.

You heard me. A glass boat, floating in a fancy drink inside a glass bottle… and a candle.

So this guy comes to the table and sprays some smoke-extract stuff inside a drinking bowl, and uses the candle to light the smoke stuff on fire.

Then, he pours my drink into the still smoking bowl filled with smoke-flavored smoke.

Then, I drank from the bowl.

And I swished the smoke-scented beverage around in my mouth.

I and the crack squirrels living in my cranium were pleased.

Oh, there were also some light snacks.

Yup.

Uh huh.

Well, guess what…

It turns out that fancy, overpriced adult beverages get you just as drunk as the cheap ones do. So, the rest of the pictures of the last day of our three-and-a-half-day New York adventure might be a little weird… even for me.
