Urban Daddy breaks the news today that Sasha Petraske's White Star has adjusted its concept and is now serving proper cocktails. Prior, it only served liquor, notably absinthe, and beer. Thankfully, you can now get an Old Fashioned, Caipirinha or Manhattan, among others, for $10. We can only surmise that they succumbed to the pressure to serve cocktails due to the concept not quite clicking and a nowhere location (21 Essex near Hester St).
For a look at their expanded menu, visit Urban Daddy. Expect a review, not to mention a visit from the Manhattan Project, soonish.

Actually, I broke the news several weeks ago: http://www.yelp.com/biz/white-star-new-york#hrid:xMjBLThnyZRnhkjPLcSjdQ

It's a real improvement for WS--I went back this past Monday and had a really nice drink that the bartender called a Fancy Free--bourbon, sugar, maraschino and orange bitters--a tasty twist on an Old Fashioned.
Also--apparently during Milk & Honey's renovations, anyone with a key can drink at WS for $9.
That drink sounds very tasty indeed.
And by the way, it seems that having a key is now a mug-able offense!
Wait, are you saying someone got mugged for their M&H key?
Hey, in this day and age, people will try to save a buck anyway they can.
