It's still Whiskey Week at Fiume
West Philly's Fiume (229 S. 45th St., second floor) is presenting an excellently boozy event this holiday season: their second annual Whiskey Week, which kicked off Dec. 30 and runs through this Sunday Jan. 11. The cozy, living-room-size bar is currently stocking 100 types of whiskey, with a heavy focus on bourbon and rye. Though you can try anything you want neat, on the rocks or in a flight (prices range between $4 and $60), Kevin James Holland, the man behind it all, will also be mixing specialty cocktails, including the Holland Tunnel, his take on a Manhattan. "[The idea] was really just an excuse to turn Fiume into my dream bar for 10 days," says Holland. Look out for bottles like 18-year Sazerac Rye, Tuthilltown Manhattan rye and baby bourbon and Hirsch Small Batch, rarities that will be specially poured for the duration.
UPDATE [3:30 p.m.]: Holland checks in with news that he's extending Whiskey Week through this coming Wednesday, Jan. 11.
