| Stretch's Curve: Also sandwiches and salads |
Bars have been known to have all sorts of odd things. One of the strangest is surely the Sourtoe Cocktail at the Downtown Hotel bar in Dawson City, in Canada's Yukon Territory. It's usually made with whiskey (but anything will apparently do) and has an actual mummified human toe plopped into the glass.
Successfully partaking gives you membership in the Sourtoe Cocktail Club and a nice certificate to show your friends. The goal isn't to swallow the toe, but just to make contact. The rule is: "You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow. But the lips have gotta touch the toe." There's nothing like a rule that rhymes, which might explain why thousands of people have joined the club.
Stretch's Curve, a bar on South Henry, doesn't have anything like that going on, we're sure. In fact, it has a surprisingly good menu (and we don't mean good just in comparison to an old toe), a good beer selection, good bartenders and two good pool tables.
But it does have one strange thing.
