Drink: La Palette Cachaçeria
94 Greenwich Ave, between W 12th and Jane; 212.366.6110
Rebranding itself as North America's first ever "cachaçeria", this tiny W. Village spot serves around 30 brands of Brazil's indigenous hooch. To dignify the stuff, they're also offering three four-shot flights -- finishing them all proves your manhood's on par with a nation of hairless dudes in banana hammocks.

Drink: Moo Mobile and Toss the Boss Kickoff Party
7-10pm Thu at Bondi Road and The Sunburnt Cow
Tomorrow night's boozy party debuts two new features of the twin Aussie spots: First, the Moo Mobile, a wood-panelled/cow-skulled /surf-board-topped station wagon that'll pick you up gratis anywhere in the LES/EV, and shuttle you home again. Second's "Toss the Boss", a happy hour game where the owner randomly selects patrons to a coin flip, then pays winners' drink bills even if they refuse to pleasure Bruce Springsteen.
