This being Friday, perhaps you may allow me to slip from neighborhood blogger into the role of very proud mother just this once.
Last night, I attended a very special book launch for "Brooklyn Spirits: Craft Distilling and Cocktails from the World's Hippest Borough" at PowerHouse Arena in Dumbo. Special, because all the photographs in this book were taken by my son Max Kelly.
Photographs for 'Brooklyn Spirits' were taken on location at the distilleries and in some of the most popular watering holes in Brooklyn. Most of the 95 cocktail recipes contributed by the authors, distillers and borough bartenders have been beautifully photographed.
The New York Times writes about "Brooklyn Spirits"
"Lavishly photographed, the book chronicles the experiences of a dozen start-up whiskey and liqueur makers in the borough, including Breukelen Distilling, Van Brunt Stillhouse, Cacao Prieto, Greenhook Ginsmiths and Uncouth Vermouth. Threaded throughout are stories about the bars that use the spirits and the cocktails they create, like the Crown Heights Negroni and the Gravesend Smash. It includes several recipes and an excellent index of the cocktails."

So this is the book you were telling us about at the lovely cafe in Paris. Just ordered it! I can't wait to see it in person. The photos on the web are gorgeous. Congratulations Max!!!
Yes, Laura. This is it. Just came out. Hopefully, Max can sign it for you next time we get together.
"White Shutter Inn", that would be a great name for a blog.

Thank you so much, Chance.
