03History
Attributed to Chad Solomon at Milk & Honey — the last word in the Brooklyn neighborhood series, the most amaro-forward of them all.
It is the Brooklyn question asked at full volume: what if the amaro part isn't a whisper but the harmony itself?
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
