Much like the way words on a page can evoke scenery, character and emotion, the Ernest Hemingway-inspired concept at The Old Man sought to do so with its recently released seventh menu, titled Relations, and through drinks like the Like-Minded Creatures.
Also quite like Hemingway’s brusque but otherwise detailed and hyper-focused prose, the Like-Minded Creatures aims to evoke an extremely specific experience in nature. “The Like-Minded Creatures started with a simple idea [of] capturing the feeling of walking through a forest in the early morning – the damp earth, fresh greenery and that quiet calm before the day begins,” says Nikita Matveev, director of operations at The Old Man. “That atmosphere became the backbone of the drink.”
