On Tuesday night, Zagat Presents and one-year-old SoHo hot spot Tailor teamed up for an evening of food and "Tailor-made" cocktails. The event, which started with an early drink lesson with mixologist Eben Freeman and then more drinks paired with three courses from chef Sam Mason including fluke with pine-needle ponzu, duck with cherry tapenade and arugula, and celery ice cream with fresh strawberries and celery root cake, filled up so quickly that they're doing it again next Wednesday – though with a slightly different menu that's still in the works. If you can get out of the office a bit early that day, we thoroughly recommend arriving in time for the drink-making session with Freeman (July 30; seatings at 6 PM (with a drinking-making demo at 5 PM) and 9 PM; $65 per person; to reserve call 212-334-5182 and mention "Zagat Presents").
