SLOW FOOD NYC "SLOW DRINK WEEK" LAUNCH RECEPTION at PEGU CLUB

On Monday, October 27th, experience the Great Cocktail Renaissance first hand at Snail of Approval winning Pegu Club. To kick-off Slow Food NYC's first annual "Slow Drink Week", Pegu Club owner Audrey Saunders will host a reception featuring artisanlly-crafted cocktails and Chef Phillip Kirschen-Clark's seasonally inspired passed hors d'oeuvres. And, legendary mixologists and authors Dale de Groff, Dave Wonrich, and Gary Regan will compete in an incendiary Blue Blazer Mix-off. Each will prepare an original Blue Blazer variant and will be rated on craftsmanship and bartenderly showmanship and one-upsmanship. This very special event will launch the first annual Slow Food NYC "SLOW DRINK WEEK" to benefit the Slow Food NYC Harvest Time Program, including Good Food Education, a Youth Farmstand, and Edible Schoolyards at schools in East Harlem and Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
