The Diner’s Bible

by: Warren Peace category: The Waitstation

Everyone has an opinion about what constitutes good service. A recent article published in the New York Times hailed “100 Things Restaurant Staffers Should Never Do.” In the hospitality industry, we are under constant scrutiny often by people who have no business evaluating our competence. We have rigid rules we must live by in hospitality while next to nothing is expected of those we serve. So, why has no one ever considered a handbook for those who dine out? Isn’t there a certain level of decorum and respect those of us who work in restaurants should be entitled to? We think there is, and we offer this list of Holy Commandments to live by whenever you dine out. If you follow our guidelines below, you will get better service. Most likely better than you deserve. God speed. (click read more to see list) Read More . . .

Shiftdrink to the rescue!!!! That’s right shiftdrink is looking after those who take care of others. As we know all hospitality people work during those “happy hour” times and when it’s our turn to have a beverage of choice its full price. Those days are over. Shiftdrink has been in touch with a couple of bars/restaurants and will be starting our own discounts for our members.
Our first lounge on board is Bongo, 299 10th Ave (27th/28th) will be offering a 20% off on drinks on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday until they close each night. Just mention Shiftdrink when you order your first drink. This is just the beginning, we at shiftdrink hope to bring you bars giving the shiftdrink special all over Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.
If you are a Bar/Restaurant send us an email and we will get in touch with you and set up the discount and add you to our expanding list. Here’s to the people that matter the most, Cheers! Read More . . .

Angel Champagne

With Mariah Carey being the latest celebrity to endorse an alcoholic beverage, Angel Champagne, one has to wonder, does the world really need this? Out of morbid curiosity, we visited the Angel Champagne website, and, of course, there were no tasting notes available, only video clips of rappers drinking Angel’s bubbly in its signature platinum. After a little more research, we discovered that back in 2006, Mariah invested in Mendocino County and bottled her own Mariah zinfandel. Angel Champagne was born 12 yrs ago, and it’s blended and cellared in Reims France and will be made available later this year to the most discerning of individuals (douchebags). All we can say is best of luck with that. One thing for sure is the champagne is way overpriced; you might shriek like Mariah when you get the bill. We can only sit and wonder what's next... Timber Lakes Cab? Mad Donna Shiraz? Rhianna Rosso? We hope this is a trend that doesn't continue.

No one knows better where to find good drinks and cool bars than the people who work in them. So, the staff at Shiftdrink has scoured the city to bring you the finest cocktails and inside information on the staff behind the scenes at the city’s hottest venues. Introducing: The Drink List. For this week’s installment, we visited two bars on the Lower East Side that are serious about mixology. Here is what we drank:


SHE LOVES MEI...SHE LOVES MEI NOT
In our recent visit to The Summit, a new bar on Avenue C, we sampled a drink with one the longest names we've ever come across, the "She Loves Mei, She Loves Mei Not." It's an exotic blend of Peruvian Pisco, Szechuan peppercorn-infused Agave syrup, egg white, lemon, and muddled edible Ecuadorian rose petals. You'll find yourself mezmerized as you watch the bartender carefully strain each of his drinks from a shaker into a hand-held colander, usually over a perfectly chiseled square cube of ice.
