How Do You Make a Lonesome 'Observer'? (Take Away Its Patron. Yuk Yuk Yuk.)
The insomniacs at Open All Night didn't make it to the premiere of Steve Buscemi's Lonesome Jim in Chelsea last night, but they did make it to the after-party, at the nightclub Home. A bit of their report:
The New York Observer hosted the premiere, and copies of the pink newspaper were strewn throughout the packed club, on the knee-high coffee tables that we kept tripping over after downing a few of the evening's signature cocktails, called the "Lonesome Observer."
So what exactly is a Lonesome Observer? (Actually, we'd imagine any Observerian who made it to Home was a little lonesome, as all his or her colleagues would have still been crosstown on a Tuesday night, closing the paper. But we digress.) A helpful source within Home explains: It's Finlandia vodka infused with peach and passionfruit puree, poured over a dash of grenadine and served in a martini glass on the rocks.
It does not, alas, come with a new sugar daddy to pick up the tab.
