Drinking Around Town NYC Version Part Two

Ok now onto Saturday.

I wake up around noon realizing in my drunken state last night I drank the $5 bottle of Voss water sitting next to my bed. Oh well it tasted well that night.

Anyway...being a little hungover the first thing I thought was I needed food in my stomach. I called my friend Brunswick. I took a cab and headed over to a place called Popovers. I don't even know how to describe what a popover is, but it tasted good especially hungover.

After lunch drinks: $20
After lunch/breakfast Brunswick, his friend we will call Entourage (since his name is the same as one of the people on the show) and myself head to a bar called Barcelona. One of Entourage's friend's owns the bar. There were only a couple people in the bar watching the world cup, but we started drinking anyway. I had two bloody mary's, two vodka and sprites, and I think 3 rounds of shots. Barcelona's specialty is specialty shots, so we could not refuse. I think they list about 50 different shots you can get. Most of the shots are house specials. Note the tab above....you got to love going to a bar where someone knows the owner. :-)

Dinner: $50 Shiller's Liquor Bar
The dinner was not too bad. Brunswick and Entourage picked this place. I had about 3 glasses of wine and one vodka and sprite. The food was ok and not too expensive. Nothing much to write about, except I think I realized how hard it must be to find places in NYC that could actually accommodate large parties. We were only 8 it is was a tough time. I guess are tables of 20 we get in Atl sometimes would not fly.

After dinner: Joshua Tree and Bar 515 (the only reason I remember the names is that I looked on my check card statement) $100

I meet up with FF at a bar called Joshua Tree. It was great. They had a bunch of big screen TV's showing the old school 80's videos while the music was playing over the speakers. The whole crowd was singing to all the good tunes including some of my favorite Bon Jovi and Journey. I had about 4 Vodka and Sprites and one Jaeger bomb. Good stuff.

After that we headed to Bar 515. It gets a little fuzzy here but from what I remember they played some pop tunes. Decent crowd, good times. Stayed there about until 2:30ish. I walked back to the hotel and tried to go to the W bar again. Unfortunately it was closed already at 3 am. Can you believe that? Oh well.

Sunday......very tired and hungover. Brunswick, his brother, Entourage and I grabbed brunch. Then we crashed at Entourage's place until we had to leave. Brunswick and I went to the airport around 5 pm. My flight did not board until 8:30 pm. (Trust me I tried to get on an earlier flight) Let me also say the concourse I was in in Lagaurdia sucked. All it had to eat was a pretzel place, which was not too bad.

Overall my NYC experience was fun. Maybe next time I will see some touristee things and eat some Italian or Chinese food.
