Snow cones—the food group most suited to eating outside.

But not this time.

Because taking these snow cones outside would be a misdemeanor.

Introducing Tequila Snow Cones, the most intoxicating iced delight to hit the city since BBQ soft-serve.

To sample this childhood treat hostile takeover, you’ll need to head deep into the underground agave vault of La Biblioteca. At this point, you should probably know that hidden from view in the kitchen is a giant plastic polar bear named Miguel, whose spacious insides are devoted to the crushing of ice into snow form. Said ice is then scooped up by a chef (who also happens to be named Miguel) and turned into the treat in question by the liberal application of tequila and homemade syrups.

You’ll be served a trifecta of flavors and colors, ranging from strawberry to hibiscus to tamarind to whatever else the Miguels have conjured that night. And since this is a tequila bar, you’ll be deciding among 400 bottles to kick up your cone.

Then, as the brain freeze competes with the 80-proof liquor for total mental control, you’ll think back to those carnival snow cones of your childhood.

And wonder if giant bears named Miguel were responsible for those too.

SAT 31 BBQ AND WINE
Drinking an ice-cold beer with your barbecue is a bona fide American tradition, but the right wine can be just as satisfying at a summer cookout. At this pairing class and tasting, vino expert Richard Vayda will match ’cue from Blue Smoke (applewood-smoked chicken, Texas-style brisket) with a variety of wines (gewürztraminer, zinfandel), as he tells you which grapes go best with smoked meats.

SAT 31 LIRR WINE OUTING

Purchase tour passes under “Deals & Getaways” at any LIRR ticket machine anytime before midnight on Thursday 29; a 7:40am train will take you to West Hampton, where a bus will pick you up and escort you to Pindar Vineyards, Duckwalk Vineyards and Sparkling Pointe, with tastings included at each. Purchase lunch at a stopover in Greenport. Visit mta.info/lirr/getaways for more info. 7:40am–7:44pm; $52.

SUN 1 MAINE BEER AND LOBSTER FEST
It’s hard to think of a more summery experience than biting into a lobster roll. Head to Greenpoint’s Black Rabbit to get your fill, where $20 at this special event buys you a house-made lobster roll, a Greenmarket-inspired side, and a pint of either Allagash White or Peak Organic Summer Session Ale. Space is limited; call the bar to R.S.V.P. Black Rabbit, 91 Greenpoint Ave between Franklin and Manhattan Aves, Greenpoint, Brooklyn (718-349-1595). 2–6pm.

Carrying Instruments on Airplanes

Musicians constantly face difficulty traveling with their instrument. Although AFM won a commitment from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to allow instruments through security checkpoints, policies for carrying instruments on to airplanes still vary wildly from airline to airline.

The inconsistencies in airline policies make it extremely difficult for musicians to plan their travel and earn a living. Thus AFM fought for language to be included in the Senate version of the FAA Reauthorization Bill (S.1451) that will streamline the airlines’ carry-on policies regarding musical instruments. If this bill passes musicians will be able to carry most musical instruments on board and place them in the overhead compartment or in a seat (if a ticket is purchased).

This bill is currently being debated in Congress and it is critical that all musicians weigh-in to demand that the Senate version (S.1451) of this language be included in the final bill. Please sign our petition below to support streamlining airline carry-on policies, so that travelling with an instrument is safer and more reliable.

Please sign this petition to demand that the language included in S.1451 is included in the final version of the FAA Reauthorization Bill.

You know how this game is played.

Meet in a crowded public place. Read the paper, pull your fedora down and wait for your contact to arrive. And then—the handoff.

An unmarked brown paper bag, filled with 2¼ ounces of… pure grilled cheese.

Welcome to Bread.Butter.Cheese., a covert grilled cheese dealership operating out of an apartment and making drops in the tiny East Village park on First and First, starting today.

The process is simple. Almost too simple: you’ll text or dial The Man (we’ll call him Ronnie), and leave a message telling him how you like your grilled cheese. Ronnie posts his “inventory” of daily specials here, but he’s a resourceful chap and can do everything from your basic Wonder Bread with Kraft Singles to a buttery Spanish Malvarosa layered with caramelized onions and raw jalapeños (remember, there’s no such thing as purity in grilled cheese).

You’ll get a text back with a delivery time—like any good dealer, he operates around the clock—and then, a normal-looking guy will approach cautiously. You’ll give him the nod and hand over a small quantity of unmarked bills. He will pass you the bag. Then he will disappear.

And should Ronnie take a shine to your grilled cheese order, you may find as a bonus a can of beer or tiny airplane bottle of whiskey in the brown bag along with your sandwich.

Either way, pick up the bag, stand up and walk away very slowly.

Note:
