What's an Amalfitini?

Welcome to the Amalfi Hotel. Located in Chicago's North River District, the Amalfi includes...free drinks! A handful of my people stayed at this establishment during this past weekend's trip to the Windy City, and on Friday and Saturday we spent 5:30-7:00 pm on the sixth floor. I have the picture to prove it. Right there. See? That's some of us. The yellow drink in the martini glass is called an "Amalfitini." Clever, huh? Who cares what the name is, though. It's free. As was the beer, the wine, the mixed drinks, and the modest spread of cheeses, meats, and breads.

Interestingly, not once did the bartenders or anyone else in the hotel ask to see our keycards before we headed up to the sixth floor and began boozin'. Heck, three of us who partook in the happiest hour-and-a-half weren't even staying there. Good times.
