RODEO BAR & GRILL
Just when returning to work after the (hopefully) eventful 3-day weekend (that you probably haven't fully recovered from yet) seems unbearable, National Margarita Day comes to ease your pain. If you can't make a mid-day escape (hey, it's 5 o'clock somewhere right?) you can head straight from the office to unwind with something tall and strong at one of the following spots, reknown for their delicious 'ritas. It won't matter if you're normally not a tequila fan - you won't even taste it.
Along with three varieties each of the well-known bar staples, Cuervo, Sauza, and Patrón, the West Village's Caliente Cab Co. also serves up lesser-known-but-equally-scrumptious tequilas like Mezcal (named for the Mezcal worm in the bottom), the handmade El Tesoro, Cabo Wabo, and others. Their specialty 24-ounce margarita may seem steep (at $14 blended, $16 on the rocks), but they're entirely worth it. The bartenders somehow manage to mix a considerable amount of tequila with a couple splashes of juice to concoct the perfect balance of sweet and sour - and you get to keep the glass as a souvenir.

Your mom may have caught you sneaking sips from the liquor cabinet in middle school, or busted you at your first keg party, but the truth is: she probably was as big of a lush as you are.
Now that you're of age and the nights of sneaking out of your bedroom window are far behind you (at least, I assume so), why not join forces with the one who gave you life?
This Mother's Day, if you bring your mom with you to Rodeo Bar, a honky-tonk bar and grill in Murray Hill, you'll both be given a free shot of tequila. Boozetastic!
Three cheers to mother-child drinking!

Barbeque, a staple of the South, is blowing a great trail of smoke right through New York City. So much in fact, that foodies have organized a barbeque tour of four of the best BBQ restaurants in NYC - Blue Smoke: Jazz Standard, Rodeo Bar & Grill, The Hog Pit, and Hill Country. The tour gives you behind-the-scenes access to these restaurants to meet the talented chefs and pitmasters who are behind the finger-licking succulence.
