ode to the goose

so ahren was up this weekend for some fun and games in the city. before i continue, props to the W Hotel lounge on 48th & Lex. it is, quite simply, the foshizzle for your nizzle. anyways, it was a frigid friday evening, we had some spicy dumplings and noodles before hustling over to forbidden city on the lower east side where we promptly got reacquainted with an old friend, the goose.

now here's the thing about the goose - its Ultra-premium vodka produced and bottled in France. Made with water from the Gente Springs where the water cascades over porous limestone, a natural purifier through champagne limestone from the Genté Springs of Cognac, France. The grains used are from the breadbasket region of France. Grey Goose is column distilled in small batches. Winner of the prestigious World Spirits Championship. Recently rated the number 1 vodka, 96 points by the Beverage Tasting Institute, and awarded the only Platinum medal. Grey Goose is created under the watchful eye of a master distiller.

long story short, its real smooth and goes down really really nice. so 1 monster tab later, we jump into a cab (bad idea) and head back for the happy home. i'm not the sharpest knife in the kitchen after an evening with the goose so i didn't notice the hoffer lean halfway out of the cab window right before commencing emergency ejection procedures (the now famous hoffman-hurl) on the fly. bellissima! his initiation to new york is now complete, having done the deed while in a NYC yellow cab.
