Mint Juleps require tons of crushed ice!

...and crushed ice to fuel a party for 30 sure is a pain to create. Any leads on where I could buy tons of crushed ice by the bag? (Or where I could maybe inquire about paying a restaurant or bar to fill up a cooler or something?)

Thanks for your help!

    There used to be an ice house on the PH/CH border. I believe it was on Bergen or Dean near Franklin. Try asking at the wholesale liquor store on Washington. They may be able to point you to it, if it still exists.

    Throw a bag on the floor.

    Use a food processor. I've got a party for 85 today and I'm using the 5lb bags from the store. No worries.

    Happy Derby Day Mayo!

    the floor is my favorite crushed ice option, too. sorry, downstairs neighbors. I double bag it and drop it several times. if I need it truly 'crushed' I whack it with a frying pan a few times. that's about as truly as I get.

    You are a terrible neighbor, and deserve to have Jackie Krohn serenade you at 3 a.m with vomit on your stairs.
