Bar Talk: Releasing The Green Fairy At Lucky 13 Saloon

Remember when Ewan McGregor had a mind-altering green fairy bender in Moulin Rouge? Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on who you talk to), the effects of absinthe (a high alcohol anise-flavored spirit) are not nearly as intense as its legend leads us to believe.

We recently sat down with Melody Henry of Lucky 13 Saloon (273 13th St) to talk about this mythic beverage…and, of course, to have a taste.
