Any and everyone will tell you I'm a lover of my mocktails. I even have my podcast that features the “Mocktail” of our discussions, so when Nutmeg Bar opened I couldn't wait to go and check it out and it didn't disappoint. They have a mini market that you can grab a few mixers to make your mocktails and then they offer light bites while you are enjoying your mocktail.

I almost lost all of my mind here at the Biscuit lady. Lord, this was a touch of nostalgia for me it reminded me when I was young in NYC in my Pop's (grandfathers') kitchen and he would make me homemade biscuits on Saturday with homemade blueberry preserves. You must visit here, oh and they will pack them like a dozen of donuts.
