BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Tom and Jerry is one of those things – if you know, you know.

We’re not talking about the television cartoon cat and mouse, but the creamy, boozy drink typically available only during the holiday season at a handful of bar/restaurants in the Midwest and, of course, Buffalo.

The Place on Buffalo’s West Side is one of the best-known local destinations for a Tom and Jerry, selling thousands each year between Thanksgiving week and New Year’s day, with each $15 drink served up in a commemorative, dated mug.
