The Critics

In this week's chat, Todd Kliman is asked where to go for solid cocktails that don't cost a fortune. "I've had them at DGS, I've had them at Spike Gjerde's Shoo-fly Diner in Baltimore (home of the $7 Manhattan), I've had them at Quarry House (which has a fantastic bourbon and rye selection), I've had them at the Mothership, I've had them at Red Hen, I've had them at Maple."
