Thank Heavens

.
We Serve Cocktails

An oasis of civilization in the wilds of Midtown St. Louis, relief for the hot, drained and mentally pooped. Found at Fountain on Locust, an ice cream parlor/informal restaurant/cocktail lounge. I'd never heard of it but apparently it's been around for three or four years. My son-in-law recommended it because the ice cream martinis are not to be believed. He's right.

A note to local foodies: I got an e-mail from Aimee, the local community manager for Yelp, about a restaurant promotion they are sponsoring this week. Eleven area establishments are offering a menu with a choice of three starters, three mains and three desserts or drinks for 50% off the menu price. It's worth a look. See the list of restaurants and menus here.

50% de reductions sur les restaurants, superbe, mais malheureusement cela fait un peu loin pour en profiter ;o))

I have never thought of ice cream and martinis going together.

"Martinis" is used in the loosest modern sense. I, for one, don't count anything but vodka or gin and vermouth as a martini, but in modern cocktail bars, almost anything with any liquor served in a martini glass is a martini. My husband's choice won the day at this meal, with a black cherry "martini," and I had a dreamsicle "martini."
