Here’s a poster from a 2012 show. My, how time flies!
“Cheese – milk’s leap toward immortality. It’s a marvel, really, how a simple curd can be coaxed into eternity, each wheel or wedge a testament to time’s alchemy. In a steampunk world, one imagines it aged in brass-bound vaults, served on a cog-turned platter to vampires and tinkers alike, its pungence a match for their wit.”
~Gail Carriger, “The Parasol Protectorate“
“Food has always been an important role of life’s rituals. The breaking of bread, the last meal of the condemned man…and now…THIS!”
-The Criminologist, The Rocky Horror Picture Show
WAIT WAIT. YOU’RE SAYING THAT YOU’RE GIVING US GIFT CERTIFICATES WORTH ALMOST THE ENTIRE VALUE OF THE TICKET?
Yes. Or the ENTIRE value of the certificate, depending on which you purchase.
IS THIS A SCAM?
No.
ARE YOU MAD?
Yes, but that’s beside the point.
EXPLAIN YOUR FIENDISH PLAN, YOU ROGUES!
Very well.
The Anachronism is New York City’s oldest long-running Steampunk show. (Probably! There might be one we don’t know about.)
We want to introduce you to it. And it’s very worthwhile for us to please our venue while making you happy. If we give ridiculous deals to the first bold adventurers who come our way, they’ll tell their friends and enemies. And to a New Yorker, that’s a lot of people.
Cocktails inspired by the kind help of the Cocktail Whisperer (Warren Bobrow). See his latest and greatest work at Klaus Infused Libations !
- The Accordion ($12): Brandy, Triple Sec, Dry & Sweet Vermouth—a smooth melody blending your spirits with our Shire’s tune.
- The Tesla Coil ($14): Vodka, Rum, Triple Sec, Tequila, Chambord, Lemonade—electric, bold, sparking Glowtide’s steampunk soul.
- The Clockwork Lotus ($13): Sake, Triple Sec, Dry Vermouth—delicate, precise, a hobbit’s zen gear.
- The Airship Drop ($10): Jägermeister shot plunged into beer—a hearty Shire toast with tinker’s daring.
- Tinker’s Twin Malts ($16 each): Same recipe, dual souls:
- Glenmorangie Glow: Glenmorangie 10, honey, lemon, cardamom, edible glow powder—silky, radiant, a festival star.
- Laphroaig Smog: Laphroaig 10, honey, lemon, cardamom, edible glow powder—smoky, bold, a tinker’s fire.
- Absinthe Drinker Ritual ($10): Absinthe dripped over sugar with chilled water in a “cogged” glass—a quick nod to Glowtide’s mystique.
- Ambassador to Edo Ritual ($15): Absinthe, sake, orange juice via “steam fountain” dripper, with glowing ice cube—Shire meets airship elegance.
