Internet memes may have invaded our brains but they brought back the Aviation too.

It was the early 2000s and cocktail bars were taking off along with a crazy little idea called the internet. People from all over the world were making funny gifs, pictures and sayings while in the east village Sasha Petraske opened a tiny little bar with no sign called Milk & Honey. As one grew it fed off the other one to spread ideas, methods, fads, crazes and all sorts of notions until the cocktail bar as we know it today took shape. Special guests this week are Tom Richter of Tomr’s Tonic, Greg Boehm of Cocktail Kingdom and Eileen Fisher of Hotaling & Co.
