February Happy Hour Planning - 2/23/10

Yvo

The date is FIRM.

The location is up in the air. Please suggest wherever; I've had one request thusfar for the next one:

"not a tourist trap in the middle of Times Square"
(I'm paraphrasing because I can't find the email, I must remember wrong who sent it, whoops)

Cheers,
Yvo

    i just said tourist trap, not necessarily one in Times Square.

  2. StreetMeasOnsumer3008

    Steve wants hole-in-the-wall.

  3. Steve

    yes, but thats for something totally different.

  4. monstermooch

    i think we should do midtown east this time. :)

  5. Yvo

    No problem - just name the place!

  6. Goats

    I think i need an advil and a pillow--no happy hour talk for goats---until---tomorrow....and yeah, I second midtown east....gingerman wouldn'[t be bad....

  7. Steve

    gingerman isn't divey enough and it has a HUGE after work crowd.

  8. Yvo

    I hate Gingerman.

    live bait?

    south side of 23rd and 5th across from Shake Shack?

    I second yvo's gingerman comment.

    Not sure who I spoke to last night about live bait. It's been a decade since I've been there. I recall it was a good place.

    That said, after getting home with empty pockets last night, I'd say 1849 is a fine choice... I forgot how expensive midtown bars are...

    Adam, you talked to me drunkarrd LOL! (hugs!)

    Yvo's original call for Bravest was a good one. really cheap drinks, greasy wings and other bar food. Hot firemen.

    Live Bait is a lot of fun, reminds me of the bar where I used to beer-tend. It's divey and cheap, too. But the general bar area isn't all that conducive to a large crowd, assuming we have a similar-sized crowd as this past time.

    Bravest has the same problem. If we even had 5 people, we may have an issue jabbing people. And the last time I went, it was all SUITS. Barf.
