Drink 2011: Red Fox

By CHRIS STAMM

That long sunless stretch from September to April can be rough. But try dragging your cold husk out into the night and into Red Fox once in a while, for there is solace here, in the form of an almost parental concern for your fall-into-winter-into-second-winter blues. The kitchen dishes up gumbo fries ($7) to help keep your skeleton warm underneath a necessary layer of fat, while the magnificent Bärenjäger hot toddy ($7) attends to your sweet tooth and sour mood.  Even the regulars evince empathy, their conversations conducted in hushed tones so as not to startle you out of your half-hibernation. Everything's gonna be all right. CHRIS STAMM.
What to drink: Bärenjäger hot toddy.
Happy hour: $1 off beer and wine 4-6 pm daily.
