"More details are out about cocktail visionary Dave Arnold’s upcoming Greenwich Village bar Existing Conditions, and they are as wacko as one might expect coming from the former owner of Booker and Dax. Arnold, with his avant-garde style of bartending, has teamed up with other enterprising drink-makers Don Lee (PDT) and Greg Boehm (Boilermaker) to open the bar at 35 West 8th St. between Fifth and Sixth avenues, employing the scientific methods — like extraction via centrifuge spinning and liquid nitrogen chilling — for which the trio are known." - Stefanie Tuder
