Highlands

Sad but true, the bartender is usually the most interesting and charismatic person at the bar. He’s probably an actor or in a band or something which is way hotter than that Dbag to your right who works at a hedge fund. Mind you, neither is relationship material. But at least Bartender Man can tell a good story and doesn’t throw out gag me b.s. like “It’s not a job, it’s a lifestyle” on a regular basis (recent date, true story). Last night after dinner at Yerba Buena Perry (which was YUM and totally go there for a mojito and some avocado fries) my friends and I stumbled over to Highlands on West 10th Street and found ourselves a new favorite mixologist. His name is Jonathan and he’s also a yoga or pilates teacher or something. He makes a great “Perfect Gimlet” (tall order) and wears his plaid shirt uniform with pride, even in the midst of Highlands’ stuffy, can-someone-turn-up-the-AC? vibe. Oh, and the door guy is cute too.
