Looking For Botanicals For Cocktail Bitters In NYC

So I'm going to be making my own cocktail bitters, I have some pretty crazy ideas (pirate bitters, ninja bitters, dragonfruit bitters etc) and was wondering where in NYC (Manhattan ideally) can I purchase items such as hyssop, wormwood, milk thistle etc? Anybody got some help for me on this one?

From Talk

Red Hook, Brooklyn Eats

Okay, I'm aware that everyone on here knows their s**t so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I'm finally making the pilgrimage to Lenell's in Red Hook to pick up some bitters and small batch bourbon. I need a place to have a nice casual lunch sitdown lunch and am open to all food types. Price really isn't an issue but no place mega expensive. I wanted to go to the ball fields but have heard that they're not quite open yet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Max

Lol sounds like you need a good shrink, I'd put the number on here but I don't want to advertise anybody and make you angrier......

since you decided to be so "honest" I'll do the same in that spirit....

I usually do post my blog when I comment which is rare (I only speak when I feel I have a vaild opinion) but when I do, it usually relates to something on my blog, so I know you're not targeting me, however....

How can you be annoyed that someone tries to further themselves and perhaps a business they are trying to start by promoting it? Maybe someone on here goes to the site and tells their friend about it who tells their friend, who wants to advertise on their site? That should be stopped because it annoys you, or your eyes can't tolerate looking it? No one's spamming you, no one's forcing you to go to their blog.

I have an idea, start your own food website where this is not allowed....Remember though, don't advertise it anywhere, you wouldn't want traffic, right?

Get over it, sorry you're just not that special

Romantic Dinner in NYC?

One If By Land Two If By Sea is very romantic but the food's just not that great.

If you're looking for Italian, Babbo is very romantic but a pain in the ass to get a reservation, Peasent is a little easier and at Il Buco you'll fell like you're eating in an Italian couintryside farmhouse.

You can also do Italian/Seafood all at once and visit Batali's Esca which if the outdoor seating is open is very romantic (first dinner with my girlfriend) the tasting menu with the crudo and paired wines is one of the best meals I've ever had in my life

Indian food in Manhattan, NYC?

Wow....quite a question, I'm going to have to put my vote in for Tamarind on East 22nd with Devi and Bukhara Grill playing second and third fiddle respectively.

Margarita


This is something I came up with at a cocktail tasting is different and works really well, it's called a Nueva Maergarita

2 ounces really good silver tequila (I recommend Patron but Sauza works as well)

1 ounce of freshly squeezed blood orange juice

1/2 ounce of falernum (Velvet is now readily available)

shake with ice and strain into margarita glass and for each guest flame a blood orange peel above each drink and drop in (this adds a wonderful smokey orange flavor, which plays great with the tequila and falernum)

enjoy!

@FFC and everyone: I was following this thread earlier today, went out for a bit and came back to the new turn in events here. I'm going to have to concur with the OP, FastFoodCritic, and say that it's pretty off topic now. So I'm going to close it. Thanks for the discussion on sigs. It's been an eye-opener to read what everyone thinks on the matter.

For those just skimming the topic -- chiff0nade is OK, and did NOT send it.

Repeat -- chiff0nade is OK, and did NOT send it.

Yes everyone, I have just spoken to the REAL chiff0nade and can confirm it's NOT the same person who contacted me using that name.

Wow, what a mess.

If anybody on the Serious Eats team is reading this, please feel free to close this thread, or delete it, whatever you think is best. It took a crazy turn off topic.

@chiff...........you're a talented class act, so he's attempting the impossible and is a sub-zero.

@Perky - thanks so much for your concern. If I abandon my e-mail address and online persona, he wins.

That's plain and simple not going to happen.

I've been posting on discussion boards and participating in online culinary communities for the better part of 16 years and it's going to take more than one deranged moron to undo that.

He's nothing more than a troll. I used to call him a stalker but that implies fear on my part. He started blathering three years ago and it's nothing but talk. He regurgitates the same crap over and over here and there, hoping to actually get someone to believe he's me. So far, he's batting zero.

@chiff........I googled that guy and saw what he's been doing to you on a different site and I'm just so sorry you have to deal with that. Any chance you're using a web based email that could get filled up or discontinued because you didn't log on for 3 months? Emails would get bounced back to the sender. You really need to abandon any address where he knows to contact you. He sounds dangerous to me. I am totally clueless about My Space and other blogs, but I hope you make him disappear.

I've already seen two old episodes of Twilight Zone this week. That's enough.

May I give you a hearty LOLOLOL?

Oh, PS - The "profile" he left on your site is one he created using pretty much every photo of any family member he could find on my myspace page.

(and no, I'm NOT linking to it here.)

He actually e-mailed me and asked for a larger picture of my deceased mother so he could include her on this "impostor" profile and say crass things about her as well. This is really the mark of an unhinged mind.

FFC - As I explained when I replied to your e-mail, the (now banned) SE poster known as "Doc Chuck" is the one who contacted you. As you can see above, I replied on SE and didn't contact you off this site (until I replied to your e-mail).

In his e-mail to you, the offensive remarks about Ed Levine really gave him away. Doc Chuck impersonates me (using my real e-mail address) all over the web so I can collect the angry responses. Generally, once I explain his actions, the recipient of his attempt at ire winds up pitying him as much as I do.

As a matter of fact, that's how I found SE. I had to come here and clean up one of his messes. I cleared up what I had to and liked the site so I stayed.

You'd be surprised at the number of blog owners I've met because of his "hobby." Just today, a person contacted me on myspace and said, "the lunacy of the posts is hysterical." He's a huge joke and most everyone knows it.
