Last night, we ended up at the late night happy hour at Marzano -- a dark, factory-inspired wine bar with tasty pizza and tastier cocktails.
Apparently, smoking is all the rage these days -- especially if it's your cocktail that's providing the smoke.

I still remember the first time I was ever invited over for a nightcap.
