Christmas weekend is all about the movies with flicks like Sherlock Holmes, Nine and It’s Complicated at your local multiplex. We asked mixologists from some of the country’s hippest spots to create blockbuster cocktails inspired by this season’s most buzzed-about films.

DavidBartonGym held its 8th annual Toys for Tots party Monday night, and two of our favorite designers, Narciso Rodriguez and Marc Jacobs, came out to help make the holidays a little brighter for needy children.
