1: A milkshake from Shake Shack. Duh.
2. A shot of After Shock, the syrupy liqueur made specifically to to withstand natural disasters. Just kidding! It's made to get you drunk. And it comes in flavors like "hot cinnamon" and "electric taste," whatever that means.
3. Jello: Green and wobbly, just like THE EARTH. Take comfort in Bill Cosby's sweater.
4. A martini: shaken, not stirred.
5. A hurricane: The semi-official drink of New Orleans reminds us that hey, it could be worse.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, there's already a whole slew of quake-themed food and drink specials—@winedanddined and NYC Recession Diary are compiling in real-time, and highlights so far include deals at The Delancey, Sushi Samba, Destination Bar and Butter Lane. Raise a glass to natural disasters!
