Dress like an entitled brat and get a free meal
I’m gonna pull a David Paterson here and out myself on this so no one else can do it to me: I watch Gossip Girl. I have a valid explanation though; since my girlfriend likes the show, and we don’t get to spend that much time together, and I
Split Thy Brooklyn Skull Barley Wine Weekend
My god barley wines have sweet names. They also pack a fucking punch. Hercules Strong Ale, 11.5% alc./volume, was the first I ever tried. The bartender said he wasn’t allowed to serve me more than two and this was on Boston’s shitty-ass Lansdowne Street where people are absolutely wasted

Long Distance Drinking & Extended Happy Hours
For the past few weeks Stuart has been defending San Francisco’s Bay To Breakers, a 12k costumed, bipedal shit show, race-ish thingy celebrating freedom of expression and consumption. So when I saw a list-ette of marathon happy hours in this week’s Time Out New York (TONY) I figured I
