We celebrated Gastronomnom‘s birthday at a new bar in East Hollywood called Harvard & Stone. It’s been open for less than two months and is from the same folks as La Descarga. I happen to love La Descarga and was looking forward to checking out Harvard and Stone.

Walking around H&S, I was reminded of San Francisco’s Rickhouse. It’s a bit smaller than Rickhouse but it also has two stories and similar old timey decor. Perhaps you could think of it as a larger Thirsty Crow though I liked the cocktails at H&S much more.

I ordered the Walnut Manhattan to start (Woodford Reserve bourbon, Carpano Antica, Nocello, bitters). I loved this cocktail. The nutty flavors were really great and it was a nice spin on the classic drink.
