Blackbird
- So far, this is just some loose notes that need to be brought together for a proper writeup
"The show is the same. Mr. DeGroff, who holds court during the week at lunch and Tuesdays through Saturdays in the evenings, likes to throw a lot of English into mixing a drink. And he still insists that fruit be squeezed fresh for every drink. This time around, though, Mr. DeGroff has created a millennium-minded cocktail menu that draws inspiration from the turn of the last century, when Americans liked their drinks fancy and fruity." -
Blackbird was located at 60 East 49th Street, New York NY [1].
"But there’s a stage in DeGroff’s development which isn’t as well documented, and it’s that stage which may have been his most influential. For an action-packed nine months in 1999, DeGroff was—for the first and only time—a partner and proprietor of a bar of his own, the groundbreaking yet unremembered Blackbird; the bar which heralded the way for American bar culture."
