This <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-537-Seattle-Travel-Examiner~y2009m8d5-St-Regis-New-York-Mad-Men-package-Now-you-see-it-now-you-dont">Examiner</a> pointed out that they could not book the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/8/3/14336/56792/hotels/Get_the_Full_Expensive_Mad_Men_Experience_at_St_Regis_New_York">Mad Men</a> package at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+St.+Regis+New+York/local/633">St. Regis New York</a> that we wrote about the other week. In fact, the Examiner was told via a hotel PR person that the package was canceled. Hmm...we guess our notice about the package being canceled must have gotten lost in the mail. But hotel's pr firm did confirm this for us as well today. As we stated back then, the package was available for Sunday nights from August 16 to November 8, starting at $895 for a whole of Mad Men-inspired amenities. The press release

Put down that Red Bull and celebrate today, a landmark date for both cocktail enthusiasts and brunch boozers, as the NY Post points out that it's the 75th Anniversary of the Bloody Mary cocktail.
