As in a bunch of us ML readers go somewhere for happy hour?
I'd be down for that...
-
I suspect this will be like herding cats. Midtown is big (east vs west sides, north 50's vs south 30s), and people working to various times would make it tough to drum up a crowd.
I think friday happy-hour review should become an open thing. I don't think it would be a particularly big turnout each time.
-
More like herding LOLcats
-
I'm in... the more notice the better. D is a very busy man.
-
Goats are you bringing rutgersbooks along?
-
I'm interested! I second D's request for far-advance notice.
-
I am not sure about Rutgers...his intentions scare me! I say we do it in 3 or 4 fridays. Let's nominate some places----I know my out of bounds go to joint, mccormacks, would be a fun place. Stout was mentioned on another thread, and that would be cool too. And of course, there is always wakamba lounge, which would be an awesome place for ML to take over!!!!
-
Does it have to be in Midtown.... if not I suggest porky's or Off the Wagon both have nice happy hour specials and porky's has fishbowls!
-
I'm not picky---whatever people want to do i will do.
-
I suppose I'm mildly interested if only to walk by and oogle y'all and then run away... hahaha and not as a comment to your looks or anything but because I'd be extremely wary what would be said about/to me... considering how you people treat the profiled luncher of the week
-
Porky's on 21st St? Dear lord--that's in my backyard.
Yvo--We met at the Shack gathering and nothing bad was said. It wasn't traumatic, was it?
Off the Wagon is so... yesterday. I'll suggest 1849 - close to the ACE and BDFV lines at West 4th (the 1 train is close by too). Happy hour with half-price beers (yes, $3 drafts incl. Guinness, Sam, Bass, etc.) every day until 8pm. And 20-cent wings until 6, plus excellent nachos.
-
Hey goats, just saw that your go-to place McCormack's is a Sox bar! Nice call--I'd be up for that too.
-
never knew mccormacks was a sox bar at all. I'm not sure that is accurate, but i don't watch many Yankees games out---and if I do, it's usually at press box in the 50s, or stout in the 30s. McCormacks is my sat night/after hrs bar. (yes, im all yanks!!!!!) I will go anywhere, though the less collegeish, the better, unless you guys want to really pound....i don't need fishbowls, but i have it in me if necessary.....
-
Steven... the collective is far greater than the individual. I'm pretty sure you were the only ML frequent commenter there, too (Talida possibly as well? but I've met her before and she is definitely not one of the people who snarks on the Tuesday profiles!)...
1849 has really good wings. I'd be down for that, but first person to touch my blue cheese will get a bone in their eye. lol.
-
Yvo, you're gonna get wayne all excited with that last comment. Their bc does have big chunks of cheese in it, though.
goats, popped onto the mcc's website, and it says up front that they carry all red sox, white sox and cubbies games.Nice Boston-Chicago connection there!
-
sonofa!!!!! I feel like a traitor now! LOL I've honestly never seen Sox fans there--but maybe i'm too drunk to notice. I know the bartenders are yanks fans, at least some of them. And I know i've seen a couple of yanks games there, so it's all good....i hope.
-
wings would be great---I could show off my tom and jerry prowess when I stick whole wings in my mouth and they come out clean!
-
I'm not sure why that's Tom & Jerry prowess, but I know a couple of single guys who might want to meet you if your claim stands.
-
Would Harry be in attendance?
-
Steve the combination of your avatar and your question just creeped me out.
-
My apologies. I should have added more to it. that whole hindsight thing.
Then again, aren't most people here creepy and then there are the freak of the weeks.
-
75% of the attendees would totally just pretend to be regulars at the bar and lurk. myself included.
downtown bars > midtown bars
-
That's fine---I will out you lurkers....You'll stand out like black sheep....
-
Sure, count me in. Don't make the notice period too long; I'll forget.
-
Goats, I'm quite proficient at pretending not to speak English when people I don't want to talk to try to talk to me.
-
You all should have this at Wakumba. Make me proud!
-
I know what you look like Yvo. It won't work. And MAamcita, I expect you to be in attendance! Especially if it's at Wakamba!
-
Will Walgreen's sandwiches be served at this gathering?
-
Goats, again, how will it not work? Besides, you're forgetting I'm a girl. If I just slap you or kick you in the groin, anyone nearby will automatically assume you were in the wrong and come to my rescue.
That was the best bit of self-defense advice I've EVER gotten.
lol.
-
I will fight fire with fire, and bring my manly friend who is a girl! She is a brute! She may have to sit on you if you get in a fight! LOL 250lbs! LOL!!!!
-
Are you trying to hang out with me or are you trying to beat me up?
-
I think Goats was the kid on the playground that would pick on the girl he had a crush on.
-
ahhhhh atleast now we know how to spot yvo and goats
goats will be the one with the female body guard and yvo will be the one kicking someone in the nuts...or being sat on by a female body guard.
all the ingredients for an awkward time.
-
I'm just joking, though I do have some seriously tough female friends. My g/f is rather frail, so she won't be defending my honor. And no Mamacita, when I was a kid, I had my female bodyguards do my flirting for me by sitting on other females who I was interested in. LOL Unless someone picked on my sister. Then I just hit the accoster in the face with a baseball bat--literally. I think I got in trouble for that one LOL
-
Nothing like a fat girl sitting on your face to make you like a guy ;-)
-
Ok you pretty much have to do it at Rudy's now:

-
Someone finally chose a location. Now all you need to do is pick a date and time.
-
Rudys it is. I say we shoot for 8.14. that's 2 1/2 weeks away. Plenty of notice.
-
Fridays are horrible for bars. I'd suggest 17th, 18th, or 19th (I stopped there since Thursday is the new Friday, and although Wednesday is the new Thursday, crowds tend to be bearable).
IS there interest in a ML happy hour? Thoughts?
