The backstory was that in early 2013, Victor Pelegrin at Russell House Tavern created this Boulvardier riff called the Man About Town. Bar manager Sam Gabrielli declared that it was so good that it would stay on the menu as long as Vic was working there. I had the drink shortly after it was created and a few months later I was working there and made plenty. Towards the end of 2013 or early 2014, Vic departed for the West Coast to raise his family, and Sam was true to his word and took the drink off the menu. Sam created this tribute that stayed on the menu until Sam left to go to South Carolina in mid/late 2014.
