-Soon to close meatpacking dive The Hog Pit reopens at its new location this weekend. We can’t wait to stop by 26th street, drink some whiskey, and bury our face in a bowl of their infamous fried pickles. We imagine we will be as happy as a drunken pig with fried pickles all over it’s face.
-Economic woes are hitting the world of vino. We learned that downtown wine shop Vintage New York recently called it quits, owing to slowing sales. The store sold only New York wines, and word has it that their statewide-only selection failed to catch on. A wine critic laments – “It’s a tragedy. Buffalo doesn’t just produce pregnant teenagers and economic depression. They also churn out some almost drinkable reds.”
-Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed a nickel a drink tax on beer, wine and spirits to help make up a gap in California’s budget. Other states are intrigued by the idea, and some claim that they are going to try to get a similar tax passed. Barfly is officially opposed. Enough with the sin taxes! How about taxing something wholesome for a change? We propose a $.10 tax on puppies and $.20 tax on babies wearing flower costumes.
