BYOB’n in Brooklyn: Palmyra Restaurant

BYOB is a broke-ass’s best friend. It seemed like you could find a BYOB place anywhere in the city, especially with new restaurants waiting to get their liquor license, and luring in new clientele with the promise of unlimited booze. But the city has recently cracked down, and now new

East River Bar: Getting Williamsburg Properly Drunk

  While the original use for this huge bar was a paint factory, the only things currently being produced here are very drunk people.  With the exception of me that is.  Every time I come here I’m already too drunk.  In fact, the first time I was here was when

Pancakes at Tom’s Restaurant: the Fluffiest of the Fluffy

FREE Knitting Classes at the Brooklyn Yarn Cafe

O’Connor’s: Park Slope’s Classic Dive Bar

The world needs O’Connor’s more than O’Connor’s needs the world.  I say this because O’Connor’s lets us believe that there are still some things worth romanticizing.  How else would you describe a bar that opened in 1931 (prohibition wasn’t repealed until 1933) and who, as of a few proprietors ago,

FREE Chat Roulette Karaoke

With Craigslist taking down their adult services and the waning popularity of Chat Roulette, the internet has lost two of its easiest opportunities for seein’ some naked people. While Legion can’t directly help you see anyone naked, it can provide you with an outlet for forced, random displays in public.
