HANGOVER
Super Nostalgic Slice: Did you know that Lombardi’s on Spring Street in Nolita was the very first pizza parlor in the US? It’s true; they opened in 1905! Ever since, they've had some of the world’s best pizza!
Gourmet Slice: Pizza, one usually thinks, is hard to swank up. Well, guess what? That guy has never tried the $1,000 pie at Nino's Bellissima Pizza. Yes, kids, that’s right! At eight slices and topped with crème fraiche, chives, eight ounces of four different kinds of Petrossian caviar, four ounces of very carefully sliced Maine lobster tail, and salmon roe-with a touch of Wasabi, this 12” pizza is a delectable thin crusted delight. (Save this one when you get your: Book deal, Christmas bonus or wining Lotto number!)
It’s Saturday morning. You had a lot of plans today. You were supposed to clean the apartment, do the laundry, tinker around with your resume so you can start applying for a new job. The weather is gorgeous, bright and sunny—the warmest it’s been in months. After a little work around the house, you were planning on exploring the city on your new bicycle, then maybe going out for dinner and drinks with your best friend a little later. Drinks? You start to gag at the thought.
Nope, none of those things are going to happen today. You feel like you’ve been pummeled with a frying pan while riding a rollercoaster all night long...before crashing face first into the bottom of a birdcage. Your mouth is dry and your tongue, toxic. Nausea makes every little noise and ray of light feel like utter torture. You moan and clamp a pillow over your head, but that’s not before you realize that you don’t see your purse anywhere near your bed, where you usually dump it before climbing into bed after a late night. It must be near the front door, right? You bolt out of bed to check. Nowhere in sight. You must have lost it last night. Scheisse.

Yes, we're all feeling it right now—that Monday morning crash. Maybe you were out drinking 'til the wee hours every night this weekend, or maybe you were up reading Mansfield Park really late last night. Whatever it was, if your weekend is hitting you over the head in a bad way, we've got the solution: Tijuana Alarm Clock, Trina's Starlite Lounge's special recovery cocktail. It was offered off the menu last year for a while, and we thought it was discontinued, but apparently, they still serve this strange concoction of blanco tequila, orange juice, Worcestershire, Sriracha, raw egg, and Dos Equis, if you ask nicely, that is.
Unless you're abstaining from alcohol completely this New Years Eve, it pays to drink smart. An oxymoron, I know. One can always try. Here are a few ideas.
Tip #1 - Pace Thyself
The most obvious and the most often ignored rule of any prolonged New York New Year's Eve Party, proper pacing is essential to ensure that when midnight comes around you’re kissing your date/stranger of choice/whoever, not hugging a toilet in New York City.
With New Years Eve quickly approaching, many are trying to figure out the ways to avoid that dreaded next morning hangover, but on Dec. 10th these headpounding morning-afters were the toast of the party. Celebs gathered at PURE in Caesars Palace to celebrate the DVD launch of last summer's smash hit The Hangover. Many of the film's scenes were shot in Caesars and the hotel went all out with decorations, draping some of the famous statues in "What did we do last night?" paraphenalia and recreating iconic scenes from the movie. They even had a wedding chapel where guests could get their photos taken in full Hangover-style costume (hen included, missing tooth-your choice).
