Summer is certainly cocktail weather, and restaurants and bars offering patios replete with people watching or gorgeous “backyard” surroundings are an ideal place to imbibe.
Today, Charlie Tripi, The Steer's manager, bartender and resident cocktail enthusiast will demonstrate the classic Sea Breeze, offered here with a subtle modern twist.
The Sea Breeze typically incorporates grapefruit juice, cranberry juice and a good quality vodka. Couldn't be more simple, right? Not in this case. At The Steer, Tripi utilizes a recently developed and quite refreshing vodka infused with the flavor of fresh grapefruit. This not only offers the benefit of requiring one less ingredient, but also offers a foolproof option for those interested in preparing a tasty pitcher of drinks to appease a large number of guests. Perfect for the 4th of July, no?
Watch the video, run to your local liquor shop and enjoy one (or more) of these this weekend. Better yet, sit atop The Steer's upper patio and enjoy a good view of Main and a cocktail that you didn't have to mix yourself.

Gimme a (coffee) break
With the opening of more and more coffee houses downtown, some people wonder if Buffalo is really a coffee town. Buffalo is the original coffee town!
The "coffee break" which is taken for granted as a standard part of any work day has only been around for about a hundred years. Coffee culture has continued to flourish in this country and the espresso boom of the Pacific Northwest in the 1990s has seen to it that every other gas station in America now has a barista on staff.

Sea Bar-City
It's great to see stylish, hip, new restaurants pop up downtown such as Sea Bar on Ellicott Street, which specializes in contemporary Japanese food. A clean ultra-modern space, Sea Bar’s dining room is quaint and inviting. The sleek sushi bar has counter seating and the wet bar, with beer, sake, and wine, has at least 10 sakes to choose from on any given night. We were happy to try a Sojitio, a sake mojito, which had the right amount of mint without too much sweetness.

Dinosaur Stalks Buffalo!!
Ten years ago, the downtown of My Fair City was forever altered when a Big Dinosaur appeared on the scene. Thankfully—unlike 1950’s Tokyo—when this dino showed up our downtown wasn’t flattened, but considerably improved. Dinosaur Bar B Que, a restaurant that originated in downtown Syracuse in the 1980’s, planted its foot in downtown Rochester in 1998. It was an instant hit—it’s common to have a line waiting to get in at all times. And it’s clearly Hog Heaven— … - Nov 21st 2008, 9:05am

This all brings back a very unpleasant memory !!...........It was senior week before graduation at Hobart College. One of the events was a sea breeze party. It was the only time in my life when I was seriously drunk. After the party, I returned to my room to discover that I had been robbed blind. Everything in the room was gone. In my impaired condition, I lay down on my bare mattress and fell asleep. When I awoke, I discovered that I hadn't walked up the stairs - I was in room 118 rather than room 318 !!! I felt seriously ill and have detested grapefruit juice ever since.
