I'm sure there's already a post on this, but I can't find it. What should I be looking for in Rome that I can't get in NYC?

Now that I've found a way to make a zero-alcohol equivalent to the Aviation, I'm moving on to my next favorite drink: Cynar & soda. This one's stumped me, as Cynar has an elusive and unique aroma ...

Heading to Boston this week and want to seek out some new treasures. Any suggestions for the best selection of bourbons, vermouths, amaro and aperitifs? I'm looking for some eccentric bottles off...

Averna, Nonino, Meletti, Montenegro, fernets, etc. are all easy for me to find. I'm looking for the more obscure amaros. A friend told me to go to Bar Keeper in Silverlake, but I haven't made m...
