The Boathouse

Despite being known for their seafood, Boathouse's burger is exceptional considering how large their menu is and how many covers they turn a night. Most dedicated craft burger joints aren't half this good.

When the bartenders remember it, I like to order the long-since-removed cocktail S.S. Politician, which is a simple (and extremely whiskey-forward) manhattan made with:

• Jack Daniels Single Barrel
• Montenegro
• Cherry bitters
• Luxardo cherry

… and served to the brim of a martini glass that's tall enough to ride most roller coasters.
