A Delightful Tom Collins Variation

Cocktail Recipes from Employees Only

Who was Tom Collins? We don’t know, but we’re sure he was a great man. To honor him, the guys at Employees Only put together a slight variation of his eponymous drink using their own brand of grenadine. The result: delicious.

Mixers available at Employees Only, 510 Hudson Street, between Christopher and West 10th Streets (212-242-3021 or employeesonlynyc.com). Keep the party going: Learn how to make a gin gimlet, tequila daisy, and more.

Dedicated Video E-mail: When in Rome

Blind dating. Speed dating. Online dating. You’ve tried everything in your shameless quest to find the perfect man.

So you’ll totally relate to When in Rome. The new film stars Kristen Bell as an ambitious, relationship-challenged New Yorker who takes a whirlwind trip to Rome. There she defiantly steals coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of the men who threw them in.

Her new suitors include a sausage magnate (Danny DeVito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett), and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, she’ll have to determine if it’s the work of the coins or the real thing.

Which is still easier than online dating.

When in Rome opens this Friday. Check local listings for showtimes.
