Tonight we rely on the sage advice of the Beer Lass and suggest the refurbished Sassafras on 2nd Street in Old City. There’s even live jazz tonight.

While we were drinking our faces off this weekend at various Beer Week events, Drew Lazor of the City Paper was burning the midnight oil. He has scoopage on new drinky lounge Apothecary, word on Bluezette’s replacement Prive and – lo! – news on the rebirth of Old City stalwart Sassafras.

Prices are going up and portions are going down in restaurants. Is it because chefs and restaurateurs just so damn generous?

The delightful Rick Nichols, in a pickle.
