4 Cocktails to Show Amy Schumer that Reno Isn’t a Dump

 In Uncategorized

Emily Maitlis from BBC newsnight got to meet Amy Schumer and well Amy, we think that your answer is incorrect.

 

Emily: “What’s the worst place you can ever imagine being for a weekend?”

Amy: “Reno, Nev-AH-da.”

Emily: “Any reason?”

Amy: “It’s a dump.”

 

First off its Nev-AD-a, not Nev-AH-da, so now if you want to talk trash or if you ever take the Reno Gazette-Journal up on their offer of a personal tour we want to make sure that you know how to say the state correctly.

Second, we wanted to make sure you know of some the Reno highlights so we picked some cocktails that we believe best represents them.
