Raise your hand if you could use a bloody mary right now.

The bloody mary is a classic. The spicy and salty vodka-filled cocktail is the breakfast of champions (aka the painfully hungover), and a staple at any weekend brunch.

If you're a fan of all that tomatoey-goodness, you may want to plan ahead and make reservations at Square 1682 for this Sunday.

The restaurant is doing something special. It will have a bloody mary bar and live jazz.
