How to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the repeal of the 18th Amendment?

At Steuben’s, the two-year-old restaurant/watering hole at 531 East 17th Avenue that celebrates regional cuisines and quirks, they marked the 75th anniversary of the ratification of the 21st Amendment on December 5, 1933 — which effectively ended Prohibition — in the most appropriate way possible. On Friday, they updated the bar menu, adding several new cocktails and bringing back the excellent Ward 8.
