...this point after the presidential election, lipstick anything might elicit some loud groans, but that can change with a speedy sojourn to Tabaq. Repackage the idea of lipstick on a pig - nestle in lipstick red chairs and slurp on their "Poma," a refreshing, burgundy-tinted pomegranate martini with a swift kick of lime. First floor is more for the older folks whose rusty joints find it difficult to handle four flights of stairs.

Sometimes I must have a wife or children, so I can swap stories with the prisoner, though I have neither...
