#tbt Another amazing moment from the incomparable wedding weekend of @annababykitten & @elizabethrestaurant_and_co. An astrological trine of #airstream, mama-in-law, and the #bigdipper. @leicacamerausa @leicastoreboston #vlux #longexposure

Salting rims before noon? The first step is admitting you have a problem. And I have a very big problem with bars, restaurants, and houseparties that don’t put the same kind of intentionality and architecture into non-alcoholic elixirs n’ fixers as they do their boozy drinks. What about wetting my whistle like this at 11am? What about my friend in her first trimester who wants to keep her N/A on the DL? What about my pal with a big interview tomorrow morn? What about chums on a cleanse, a break, or full-on recovery? Can I get an N/Amen? More on this topic from me in the next @esquire. But for now, lemme tout @curiouselixirs and their delicious No. 2. I dig their organic, spicy, gingery, pineapple concoction with the killer tagline: #shakennotslurred. @leicastoreboston @leicacamerausa #vlux

Sometimes, the weekend just reveals itself. Fitting that an elegantly square @unboundmerino box would appear on my doorstep and Insta. Instructions say, “Do not tumble dry.” Cool. I’ll make sure never to tumble without a full flask. And for palate support: @chocolaterietessa and @partagascigars, because #tabacoycacao. Handwritten note and @rayban round-out a sunny outlook.

A #bespoke suit is made in Hong Kong and Tesauro flaps his wings with @infinite_chimp 🕶 at @wineriot in #atx. My idea of #butterflyeffect. Grazie Austin for another weird and wonderful weekend. #wineriot

Another stupendous @WineRiot in the books. In #Atx, I tasted the syrum of #InfiniteMonkeyTheorem and joined the chorus of @FincaLasMoras. Next time, we crank the motor with @hennessyus and @drysoda for #wineriotchicago (Oct 19-20) Now, off to #neitherherenorthere. #timelapse
Diggin the whole urban winery thang. Second time here and def love me some #atx. Proper #empanadas and #milanesa at @buenosairescafeatx and then #amaro at @cosmiccoffeebeer. En route to tango at @barbarellaaustin.

Been open a month, but no one’s really talking about this place yet. They should be. My party of 6 ate most of the menu and it ran from way good to terrific+. Fun little spot from #thejackdawrva popup team. Approachably creative Filipino/Pinoy dishes. Fresh and smartly composed (like this octopus/peaches/eggplant app). Priced fairly, too. And they did it with their own $. No loans or investors. Which is why there’s been so little buzz – they’re spending on produce, not PR. We should all support that kind of chutzpah. #sinkorswim #rvadine

Still coming down from cloud nine after the killerest wedding weekend I’ve ever experienced. @elizabethrestaurant_and_co & @annababykitten sealed it with a kiss at @campkupugani. I shot this around the post-nuptial, post-hootenanny bonfire late Sat eve as Orion rose, the Big Dipper set, and a campground of revelers basked in the glow of two shimmering souls who went supernova that night. 10-second exposure as @cecilia___tesauro wrote the word with her #smores stick. @leicastoreboston @leicacamerausa #vlux #longexposure

Walk to fish. Church Hill’s newest mantra/hashtag. Thanks to @chefleegregory, my wife and I can stroll to @alewiferva and sup on goodies like these. Love their sustainable pea gravel oyster bedding in lieu of kosher salt. The #cauliflower and #cobia dishes killed it. And that #mississippi rice! Good lawd, don’t get me started on this smoked bluefish and tobiko #corncake reminiscent of @neptuneoysterbar’s iconic johnnycake. Oh, and there’s #softserve for dessert. #rvadine has a new gem. And it’s honest, delicious, unfusty, and balanced. Look for @amyleerva and me here often. #churchill #walktofish
