Reply to PVD’s best cocktails? by gradontripp

I heard that Marcellino’s was good, and I finally tried it tonight: quite good, actually, and a little experimental, which was unexpected for a bar attached to the Omni. Slow Rhode also makes good cocktails, in addition to Courtland, Eddy, and the others often mentioned here.

Reply to comment by nodumbunny in Places hiring high school students? by horsewool

As a blue collar worker myself, we are struggling to find decent help, especially in entry-level positions. There's a lot of money to be made in the trades, and a lot of your education is hands-on. But yeah, summer, or OP could pick up some Saturdays sweeping the floor at somebody's shop. Couldn't hurt. Heck, if it's a field they're interested in, why not get their foot into the door at a shop, so they have an "in" when they're ready to start their career path. You'd be surprised how much people admire "oh yeah, I helped at so-and-so's shop on the weekends in high school!"

It's automatically assumed you learned a thing or two in your time there, which they most likely would. Some of the best shops I've worked at had an apprentice organize all the materials from orders on a Saturday. You go in on Monday, and it's refreshing as hell to see all your supplies laid out, and tagged by job name. Just handling materials, and learning their names is a huge step in learning a trade.

Rambling, sorry
