In the 2004 version of Alfie, starring Jude Law, Marisa Tomei, Sienna Miller, Nia Long and Omar Epps, one line resonates:
“Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder…”
Illegal for quite some time due to its supposed hallucinogenic effects, absinthe has finally been approved to be sold (and, more importantly, drank!) again in the US. Sip some for FREE with the generous folks at East Village Wine and Liquor TODAY.
Just remember not to blame them if you see a scary green monster or a hippo in the corner of their store.
Date: February 14
Time: 5pm-8pm
Place: East Village Wine & Liquors
Deal: FREE!
. . don’t burn the day . .
Original Film: Released in 1966, starred Michael Caine.

A better line is the one originated by Dowd – “Absinthe makes the tart grow fonder.”
