won a bet concerning the movie Silverado (I won't get into it) several years ago. The loser has yet to pay, and the juice is running. Though the vig is low, it has managed to accumulate to a healthy pay-back-my-student-loan sum. After I break his legs, I'll hit The Vig to celebrate.

This low-lit Nolita lounge has a shish and smooth (alliterative) feel to it. Dim and inviting, it's a great cuckolding or pre-usurpation spot for clandestine drinks and shadowed winks.
