Here's a cordial: Serve guests from this layered cart that features two tall wood shelves, a steel top and rear wheels with a twist. The steel pipe handle helps to wheel it around with mixed cocktails on top. The Manhattan is the right tonic for a space that's a little dry. What's your pleasure?  Cheers!
