This episode of Fun Friday kicks off with Kevin and Cristyne swapping tales of back-to-school madness, last-minute Staples runs, and the universal parental scramble. The chaos is real, but so is the craving for a good cocktail—enter the Honey Deuce, the US Open’s signature drink, which Cristyne has mastered at home (melon balls and all).

The duo dives into tennis talk, marveling at the excitement of the US Open and the fashion faux pas of identical player outfits. They also tease the upcoming guest, Lucas Dimitriou, bar manager at Grand Brasserie, who joins to discuss the Honey Deuce and the Crimson Negroni—two cocktails that are shaking up NYC’s drink scene.

Lucas shares the origin of the Honey Deuce (created in 2007), its refreshing recipe, and its rise to sports drink stardom. He also introduces the Crimson Negroni, a smoky, citrusy twist on the classic, perfect for fall and Negroni Week. Bonus points: it’s all for charity, supporting Slow Food initiatives.

The episode then shifts to the Bronx’s Arthur Avenue, where Peter Madonia previews the upcoming Ferragosto Festival. It’s a vibrant street festival rooted in Italian tradition, filled with food, music, and community reunions. Peter paints a delicious picture of sausage, pasta, and fresh-cut Parmigiano.

Finally, Cristyne and Kevin wrap up with weekend tips: Broadway Week deals, Taste of Times Square, and the Fifth Avenue Mile race. It’s a jam-packed NYC weekend, and Fun Friday makes sure you’re ready to sip, stroll, and celebrate in style.
