Here are some suggestions on where you can do that!

Or, canned malt beverages that are designed to taste like spirits but are actually 8% ABV Frankendrinks. After reading HuffPo's raving "fairly palatable" review, we've been prowling bodegas and Duane Reades in Manhattan and Brooklyn for Bud Light's new youth marketing Trojan horse concoction, Bud Light Lime-A-Rita, but have come up short. We even asked one large beer distributor in New Jersey if they stocked it. "We tasted it and decided not to keep it in stock," a clerk told us. Your loss: you have to put Hennessy in it to unlock the magic.

Tonight's debut would have brought gourmet food from vendors like Luke's Lobster and Pies 'n' Thighs to the Hotel Eventi Courtyard on Sixth Avenue, but now we'll have to wait until next Thursday, May 31th to nibble under the stars when the festival does their grand opening, take two.

All of them will be getting full refunds, which means, according to our back-of-the-envelope calculations, event organizer Superfly could lose about $1 million in an attempt to smooth things over.
