What happens when you pair up booze with baristas and challenge them to do anything for any sort of prize? You get a sweaty, coffee soaked, bourbon-stained, fancy rum bottle tilt-a-whirl of a no holds barred hootenanny. RBC NYC, one of the finest cafes in Lower Manhattan, is putting together just this sort of event on May 22nd, and it’s bound to be a real humdinger of a time. Area barista champs! Top drawer local bartenders! Creative facial hair! If there won’t be tears shed there will certainly be blood spilled.
