It's a Bloody Mary Morning...

NYC is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Bloody Mary today!
The drink was invented by Ferdinand Petiot in Manhattan in 1933. Although, some say he created the drink in the 1920s in Paris. It was originally called the Red Snapper, because calling it bloody was too gross in the olden days.
Anyway, in honor of this special day, there will be a special toast in Times Square today. Several bars in the tri-state area will also give out Blood Marys for free.
AND at its New York restaurants, TGI Friday's will sell you a Blood Mary for 99 cents (1930s prices).
