June 1: Grand Gourmet

Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha be damned. Just cause the foursome aren't continuing their escapades in New York's hottest bars and lounges, there is no reason for Gothamist to stop. We may find the Cosmo passé, but a well-heeled Negroni or Gimlet always coordinate with our Jimmy Choo's.

May 10: A Taste of the Good Life, Une Soirée en Provence

New Yorkology helps solidify the list of Manhattan bars you can smoke in! NYology asked the city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (someday, Gothamist will figure out what mental hygiene means because we know that we can't wash our brains) to compile the list, and here are six more bars, added to Karma Lounge in the East Village and cigar bar Club Macanudo on East 63rd that we knew about: Carnegie Bar & Books at 156 West 56th Street, Lexington Bar and Books at 1020 Lexington Avenue, Circa Tabac at 32 Watts Street, Kush at 183 Orchard Street, Hudson Bar and Books at 636 Hudson Street, and Grand Havana Room at 666 Fifth Avenue, 39th Floor. Many of these places are allowed to skirt the smoking ban because they also sell cigars; some charge a "smoking cover" if you don't buy a cigar, because a certain amount of the revenue needs to come from cigar sales. Also, you can smoke in the Campbell Apartment at Grand Central.

The Times looks at two of the drinks for your drinking pleasure at Grand Central outdoor cafe run by the Campbell Apartment. They are the Vanderbilt Punch ("tall, lightly sweetened refresher made with rum, Cointreau, cranberry and papaya juices, and a slice of orange") and Big Apple Cobbler ("bourbon and apple liqueur with ginger ale and a fresh apple garnish"). (Basically alcohol + something sweet = you can't smell the fumes from the buses in the area.) The drinks at $10 a pop are available till the end of October.

" Cipriani Dolci, Michael Jordan's Steakhouse, and Campbell Apartment will be involved, and they are getting "chairs, special tables with linen tablecloths, candles" for the outdoor area.
