Happy Purim!
.
March is the month of awesome holidays, so to all my Jewish customers: happy Purim! One reason I love Purim is that it’s when you’re supposed to drink like there’s no tomorrow and eat a ton of hamantashen (see below).

Me, as a child, with hamantashen.

As a kid I always liked the story of Esther because it starts with a 180 day (!) booze-fest for everyone in Persia, followed by a separate seven-day wine party. I sometimes think that if New Yorkers could sit down to a serious drinking party for seven days it might work out a lot of the city’s problems.
