FREE Vodka Wednesdays at Blue Owl

Hump Day sounds disgusting, always has.  “Bumping uglies” sounds gross too.  I know people who hate the word “groin”.  “Crotch” is crisp and tight to me, but friends find it equally unappetizing.  One of Stuart’s friends has a website called The Fart Party.  That leaves a very unpleasant taste in

House Party Tuesdays @ Sway: FREE Whiskey, cheap tequila/mini burgers

Sway feels cool because it hasn’t altered the outdated sign of its predecessor McGovern’s, has good music, and an attractive crowd (reminder: low light, dark backdrops and highballs make a lot of things attractive). Hell, attractive people can make anything look cool from old school American Gladiators to modern runway

It's Always Xmas at The Continental: 5 Shots for $10

  The black tarpaulin outside of the The Continental reads “5 Shots of Anything $10: All day/All night (yes, we’re serious)”.   And there really is no catch.  No limiting “happy hour”, no restricted access to only the worst gut rot brewed in an industrial bathtub, no cutting down a

Last time I was behind the bar an owner vocally disapproved my first three mixed drinks because they lacked the non-alcoholic component. Apparently it isn’t good for

FREE Wild Parrot Safari Brooklyn: Special Doubleheader

Well, it’s the first week of April, so I’m sure I hardly need to tell you that the Quaker Parrots are stirring in Brooklyn. These parrots, also know as Monk Parakeets, are something of an anomaly here and there are many theories explaining exactly how they arrived. Luckily, Steve Baldwin,

Free Tea Today 12-4 @ Oren's Locations

At some point I made a conscious effort to not nurture a coffee/tea drinking habit because of the sheer economics behind having to buy your daily fix. Plus, it’s like oysters. If you don’t really like them, don’t eat them. But, most of my friends were buying sugary lattes that didn’t
