Anyway, I've obviously been eating in the last few months, so get ready for a serious download of all the fab places I've been. Well, there will at least be two new posts coming up...
On Friday, I met up with an old friend at Yuca Bar in the East Village. I got there a little early and it was happy hour, so I posted up at the bar and ordered a margarita. I was served a glass of tequila with a squirt of lime juice and salt on the rim – just the way I like it. Once my (drinking) companion got there, we sat at a table and she ordered a pitcher of sangria for us, which turned out to be about 8 glasses. Did I mention I had already downed a glass of tequila? Don't judge, it was a million degrees on Friday and I needed a few ice cold drinks! (water, you say? nope, not as hydrating as tequila and red wine.) We also ordered a slew of tapas – calamari, a mushroom quesadilla, Spanish bruschetta and meatballs. All were good, but the quesadilla was the agreed table favorite. Once we ate everything in sight and STILL hadn't finished the sangria, we did the classy thing and discretely poured the leftover into my friend's water bottle. Again, this is a judge free blog.
On our way to the subway, we passed McSorley's, New York's 'oldest operating saloon,' and since my oldest brother is oddly obsessed with the old-timey bar, I decided we had to go in so I could finally answer "yes" to his frequent "have you been there yet?" question. It was awesome. Seriously, who doesn't want a bunch of ancient shit surrounding them while drinking beer that is served in two small mugs with each order? (I have no idea why it's served that way, but it makes you feel that much more legit) While there, I read a framed newspaper clipping from after the Titanic sank, decided our waiter looked like Tim Riggins from Friday Night Lights (an obsession of mine I will not address here as it will exceed far beyond a normal person's attention span) and speculated about the possibility of a cowboy walking in and demanding someone meet him outside for a shootout (odds were pretty good).
Overall, it was a good night!
