On Monday, stop into Tria for a taste of 26-year-old Madeira, the varietal allegedly used to toast the Declaration of Independence (a few years before this one was bottled, but still...the more you know!)

ProTip: Get Lucky w/ Our St. Patrick's Day Best Bets

"It’s nearly St. Patrick’s Day, and if the thought of green beer makes you think, 'Erin Go Blarghh,' well, you’re not alone. Team ProTip knows there’s more to the holiday than temporary shamrock tattoos, and we’ve picked a few of our favorite ways to celebrate the Irish: every bit as magically delicious as Lucky Charms, but sans the pesky leprechaun paraphernalia."

Shmitten Kitten: Flippin' Our Shades at Food Dude, "FX Movie Download" Host and All-Around Renaissance Man Adam Gertler

"He doesn't bite unless asked or provoked (and no, much to his chagrin, the Wolverine claws are not, in fact, permanently attached to his adamantium-encased skeleton)...Yes, gals, he is single and looking, so go ahead and dust off your best karaoke standard / sausage joke / fangirl story about meeting Stan Lee and say hello on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram."

Note to Adam: I did not create this image.  But someone on Tumblr really likes your candy claws.

Skirt Collective: Wanderlust: The Dos and Don'ts of Traveling Alone

"You know yourself, so plan accordingly: will you want to indulge in multi-course meals, then buy a case of wine to bring home? Or do you prefer to see just how far you can go on a shoestring budget? Either way, packing an emergency hundred in with your socks is never a bad idea."

Shmitten Kitten: Just Between Us: 6 Things I Will No Longer Put Up With in Bed (and Neither Should You)

 "Look, I don’t know where that stranger danger mystery meat has been. I’d sooner deep-throat a subway pole then put my mouth on his rando Slim Jim."

Shmitten Kitten: Quick Rant: Everyone is in Love but Me

"What's lonelier than browsing my cousin's baby shower registry with one hand while Tinder-ing with the other? Maybe booking my hotel room for my best friend's wedding and staving off a panic attack when the site asks me whether I'd prefer to reserve a room with two double beds or a single (wildly optimistic) king."

This winter, everyone is in love but me, via Shmitten Kitten...


Shmitten Kitten: Real Talk: He's Too Hot for Me

"The ego trip of strolling out at last call with the dude every other girl wanted to take home doesn't always make up for a night spent straining to hear what he's saying to me instead of what the cranky jerks next to us are saying to each other about me."

Sometimes, I feel like the Billy to his Christie, and not in a good way, via Shmitten Kitten...
