Sometimes, I’m feeling lazy. Other times, other people have done such a good job of researching neat things that you have to just let the work speak for itself and not dilute it with your weighty irony and sharp snarkiness. In the spirit of that, I bring you some work that other people did. Not me. Not anyone I know.
Gothamist’s “Let Me Drink Next To Your Fire”: A quick run-down of your New York fireplace accessible bars. We checked out Daddy’s from this list this week and it was awesome. Great Hot Toddys. Also, we’ve all been to Union Hall. That’s why you can’t even get in the place on a weekend. Nice for happy hour though…
Gridskipper’s “Fast Times on Fifth Avenue”: Because I literally and figuratively live on Park Slope’s Fifth Avenue, this hit home for me (again, both literally and figuratively). While I would say the list only skims the wonderous possibilities of nice things on the street, I liked it anyway. But really, once you’ve done those things, check out some of my faves: Press 195, Something Else on 5th, Grt Lks, Bonnies, Gorilla, Rachel’s, Perch, Southpaw, Beacon’s Closet, Buttermilk, O’Connors, and that insanely twee store that Pizappas loves.
it’s called ai ai gasa and it’s nice.
