Why This Is Awesome: As you might recall, I mentioned in a previous post how this year marks the 100th anniversary of the formation of The Algonquin Round Table in New York.

For my birthday, I met up with my buddy James and we enjoyed expensive cocktails and some of the best calamari I've ever had while drinking in the ambiance and history of this reinvented icon.
