Drink of the Week: Ugh – another Monday. It may seem hard to decide what to drink when the weekend seems so far away. Thankfully, we at Barfly drink every day! We are happy to make a few suggestions that will help get you through the horrid week so you can make it to the slightly-less-than-horrid weekend. Cheers!
This Week in Drunktown: We provide a weekly round up of all things drink. If you were passed out for four days after a bender, this is the place to come for a recap!
Communicate with the Spirits: There are so many spirits, beers, and wines out there – from the dreck to the divine. We try a lot of them so we can bring the best to your glass without interruption. It’s hard work, but someone’s gotta do it.
Reviews: New York is a city that’s built on a river of alcohol – and sometimes it’s hard to figure out which curves to follow. Barfly rates New York drinking holes on a scale of 5 olives. We’re completely unbiased and our scale is objective. If you’re keeping track – 1 olive = $250 in bribe money.
Booze in the News: Modern American politics, global warming, the threat of terrorism – can you say yawn? How about some news that people care about – like drunks falling over and states toying with the drinking age.
Davey and Drunky: It’s so hard to learn values these days. Good thing we have Davey and Drunky to teach our children. Sit them down at the computer to learn morals, and head to the bar.
Libation Vacations: New York is a special place – all drunk all the time. It’s sometimes hard to remember that not everywhere is like this. Occasionally, if we’re feeling feisty, Barfly steps outside of the city boundaries to see what drinking is like on the other side. If you’ve never been to Narnia, you’ll want to check these stories out. There are some strong drinks through that cupboard.
Dispatches from the Drunken Dating Front: Our correspondent LittleFly brings tales from the front lines of drinking and dating in New York. All of this romance can become very exhausting. Littlefly dreams of a society in which her truest dream can be accepted. Unfortunately, marriage between man and alcohol bottle is only legal on Indian reservations.
Cultural Cavorts: We’re still trying to wrap this idea around our mind, but sometimes some people do things that aren’t based around drink. Like go to the “theater” or the “opera”. We think they’re lying, and tag along to confirm that they are indeed smuggling a flask inside.
Dear Drunky: We got old Ann Landers tipsy and had our way with her. Luckily, the only thing we caught was wisdom. Write in with a question so we can spread some to you!
I Wish I Could Remember When: Drinking and nostalgia go hand in hand. We take a sip, and bring you stories of – well – we don’t quite remember.
Service Industry Superspy: Barfly goes undercover in the service industry to report back on what life is like for the other side. We lasted about 3 months, how do they spend so much time around all that alcohol without diving in?
