I had to return a whole bunch of things to Macy’s this afternoon, so afterwards I stopped by the bar that Pam works at, which is on 34th and 3rd. She fed me tiny red velvet cupcakes, and I wandered back out into the cold a happy camper. She also taught me how to make a salty dog, which sounds delicious, and also sounds like something that I might possibly be ordering later on this evening. 

SALTY DOG 

1. Rim a highball glass with lime juice and salt (just run a slice of lime around the rim and then dip the edge of the glass into a plate of salt).

2. Add ice; pour in gin (or vodka, which would probably be my pick) and grapefruit juice; mix and serve.
