via Gothamist: Seventy-five years ago today, Fernand Petiot created the very first Bloody Mary, originally called a "Red Snapper," in Paris. It wasn't perfected, however, until he came to New York in the 1930s. "That's when he added Tabasco," explained his granddaughter Carol Bradley, to the NY Post.
I'm categorizing this deal as "food," because, after all, there's celery involved! And if you're really creative shrimp and vegetables, too. Today New York City is celebrating this anniversary by honoring the morning cocktail and Petiot's granddaugther in a ceremony at 1552 Broadway in Times Sqaure at 11:30 a.m.. And for those looking to celebrate on the cheap, TGIFriday's is offering 99 cent Bloody Mary's today, rolling back prices to 1933 levels.
