Thank God it was warm this New Years Eve.  The benefits were remarkable.

Short skirts. 

Tight tops.

No coat check.

No problem waiting for a taxi..

 Or in a line in the Meat Packing District..

 Or on the sidewalk as your friend reintroduces you to the empanadas he ate earlier in the evening at Empananda Mama.

And most important, Frozen Margaritas from Zarela’s in Midtown East.

What is a New Years without them?  While I am thinking about it… what is any night without them.

*Old College buddy in Town: Start with a Zarela Frozen and he will spout off that he is fed up with his marriage and is surfing porn every night because his wife will not do that…she kisses her kids with that mouth!

*Lost $$$ a crap load on the trading desk today:  No problem, One Zarela, Two Zarela…. Now start talking to the guy next to you about your problems.. He’s Listening, just like Frazier.

*Family in Town: Loosen up with a Zarela Frozen and the family secrets appear analogous to a blonde jumping out of a birthday cake…you know it’s coming.. but it still is shocking.

*Long Term Girlfriend / Fiancee / Wife (fill in the blank):  Need to rekindle the love life:  Zarela Frozen..

*1^st Date:  Did you meet her on Match or Barstalk?  This is too easy… One Zarela, Two Zarela..don’t go there..

But PLEASE TIP THE BARTENDER (particularly Winston) and say hello to Zarela!
