xxxxxx ness. So I guess what I’m really saying is sports are like an analogy of life frustration -- everyday life can build, then there is the release of pent up emotion that can spill out of you like a warm over carbonated soda gushing out onto the hard dry ground soaking up all that regret, but with a few spoonfuls of hope it can lead to great things ﬂowering into that obses- sive belief that your city and your players and your people are the greatest in the world. This is some- x thing that I believe.

Anyway because of the Phillies playing their way to greatness I personally had my faith restored and once again my imagination sparked, that perfection or being the best at something is worth the sometimes over whelming frustration that failing for years can bring. So if you ever had a dream of perfection or greatness -- it can happen to the Phillies and it can happen to you.

After my first night take over 30 seconds to order a drink. First, I know chivalry is dying but ba- 0534450 sic manners need to stick around. A “thank you” and “please” wouldn’t hurt here and there. The latter is the drink order, I am a bartender, I am here to help you, If you don’t know what you want, tell me, I can help you. Tell me what you don’t like, I’ll make you something you do like.

Where is your favorite place to go? My favorite place to hang out is Spence cafe. My friends and I always have a wonderful time. The wine compliments the amazing food. The servers are nice and the bartender is friendly. The wine tasting is always a great time. I really like wine.

What is your favorite drink? My favorite drink is a Chopin martini slightly dirty with two olives, no vermouth. I did a blind taste test with my favorite bartender Mike and he said my favorite drink is a Kettle One martini slightly dirty with two olives no vermouth. Kettle One vodka or Chopin vodka. They are both fantastic martinis.

What is your biggest compliment? My biggest compliment is when a Now Open... business man from Chicago, Illinois 151 West Gay Street Riverfront Wilmington • 400 Justison St. came in the bar and said to me, “I West Chester, PA 19380 haven’t been here for six months.
