Meet the Mayor: Blanchard's
Welcome to "Meet the Mayor," a segment in which we interview local Foursquare Mayors in
their natural habitats.
Blanchard's Liquors
Joray Pro Era
Why are you the
mayor here?
I've been coming here for a while. I just didn't think
that I'd get this particular mayorship. I figured there were people out there
who were frequenting Blanchard's more than I was, but somehow I'm the mayor.
Yeah, but the
guys waiting for the place to open at 11 am don't have smartphones.
Well, that's the thing. We're talking about Allston,
which is very tech-savvy, and there are a lot of places here that trend. Spots
like this, the Sunset Grill, Tavern in the Square, there's always something
going on. I'm sure if I look right now, there'll be someone who's checked in at
Blanchard's.
Are there any
hard liquors you can't do?
I'm not really big on tequila. I can't necessarily say
I'm a dark liquor fan, either. If I want a good liquor, I'll get vodka or
scotch.
What's up with
the worms?
I should be asking you that. Worms. Scorpions. I think I've seen a maggot
or two in a couple of bottles. They've got some weird stuff in bottles of
tequila. I would not want to be that last guy who has to eat the worm.
