This is a picture of a Manhattan sitting on a school newspaper called the Spoke. In the background is an article called "Food & Wine" and some apples in a plastic bag. Often when I make a Manhattan I then take a photograph of it. I usually try to place it in an ironic or perhaps sometimes maybe a not-so-ironic context. In this case having it sit on a story called "seniors skip in record numbers". Most high school seniors don't drink manhattans, but if they did they would undoubtedly begin to skip. If enough of them drank a manhattan, the result would soon be record numbers of skipping students.
