While the rest of you were busy having your Staycations over the Labor Day holiday (i.e. drinking to the point of passing out in your air conditioned apartments), Barfly was hard at work spiff-ifying our lovely home-page. We are pleased to start off the fall with what some might refer to as NYBarfly 2.0, but what we like to call the best frickin redesign of a website ever. Word.
We know the most sophisticated drinkers in our audience might be put off by some change – but this isn’t as life-shaking as switching to Rob Roys after years of Martini guzzling. It’s the comfy kind of change – like getting a delicious martini poured slightly dirty every now and then.
We have great things in store for the coming season – including a new daily email that’s delivered direct to your inbox. We know you are super-busy with all of those business opportunities in Nigeria – so we thought the ‘savvy business folk’ amongst you might prefer your daily dose in a more manageable form. Sign up for it in the top corner of the screen.
Also – check back for some new features on the site. In addition to our beloved regulars, we’re keen to further help you navigate the perils of drinking and debasement. Our Drunktown Definitions will help you garner the lexicon needed by a proper sophisticate (what the hell does ‘alcohol poisoning’ mean anyway?) and our Tips For will leave you prepared with the necessary steps to get out of pesky life threatening situations (bridal showers, anything that doesn’t involve drinking).
So – Happy Day After Labor Day, Ladies and Gentlemen. We’re glad to have you with us – and sure you’ll understand any kinks (i.e. misplaced images, drunken hiccups) that occur for the next few weeks. Remember – just because summer is over doesn’t mean you have an excuse to start drinking moderately. And, most importantly, be sure to put away those white clothes. No white after Labor Day – a cardinal rule in the life of a proper sophisticate. In the soft and soothing autumn light, its way too easy for those blood spots to show through. . .
We love you almost as much as we love gin,
Barfly
Dear Mr Barfly,
New format...Very chic
"Cyber nanny" at work is blocking your sponsors...
Is NYBARFly next??? I fogging hope not!
Black and white with a touch of olive green... could we be in a new Jazz Age?
Regards,
