Let's say you're headed to an engagement party which will turn out to be the classiest event of your young life. As a gentleman, you want to bring something…and what's classier than a nice bottle of whiskey?
I'm going to tell you what: a vodka bottle IN THE SHAPE OF A TOMMY GUN.
Once we saw this marvel of booze bottle engineering, there was no way we weren't getting it. After all, nothing says, "I'm so happy to share this special moment with you, as you embark on a lifetime of love and happiness" like shots out of the barrel of a gun.
We brought that thing up to the register, and the lady goes, "FINALLY, someone's buying that thing." And there was even a free prosecco tasting by the door as we left.
This has been a favorite of mine since first arriving in NYC. The manager(?) is always friendly and seems to run a tight ship since they are NEVER out of anything. They offer a great selection and their prices are also very reasonable. There is also never a long wait in line.
"Good things come in small packages", they say, and the same goes for this small wine & liquor store on the corner of 86th and Columbus. They have a very decent collection of wines and liquors, and the staff is very friendly as well. These guys get it: They understand that customers want A, B, and C to pick from and prompt service. I can literally walk in and out of here in one minute time (since I know what I want anyway… I'm predictable with SOME things!) and that just shows how efficiently this place is run. Half the time that I walk in here, there is some kind of tasting of some kind of liquor or wine going on. Prices are absolutely reasonable. I want to keep this place around so I'll keep buying here as long as my liver allows me to. ; )
PS: I have no clue who Ann B is, who wrote that one nasty review, stating that people at this store were extremely rude when she called. I have been to this place very regularly, and I have never overheard anything rude towards any clients.

Yeah. I'm a fan.
