From the Village Pourhouse guy and a former Patria chef, this minimalist-chic cafe (exposed brick walls, L-shaped bar evocative of a bureau) slings small plates like beef tenderloin carpaccio and foie gras w/ apple-peppercorn tart tartin, plus 26 craft beers and boutique liquors (Tito's Handmade vodka, Four Roses 100-proof bourbon, etc). More booze: four absinthes (Absinto Carmago, Lucid, Versinthe, and Kubler) served w/ sugar cube & spoon -- limited to two per customer, after which you'll have to settle for 100-proof bourbon.

There're also tips, e.g., for Silent H ("the strong Viet espresso with condensed milk is a good hangover cure"), and the meat-free joint Bliss: "It's vegetarian, what do you expect?"

Giants fans'll enjoy this hot slideshow, too. Promise.

Don't be on the wrong side of history when "world's fittest man" Paddy Doyle competes for the Non-Stop Strength Endurance Record: one-minute max-outs of back of hands push-ups, step-ups, height climbed, treadmill distance run, and shuttle sprints, all while carrying a 40lb backpack -- the equivalent of two 3yr olds, or one Krang.
