ANOTHER STRANGE TURN OF EVENTS....

Basking in the glow of yesterday's announcement, I found myself being congratulated by patrons and friends alike time and time again. It was a really nice feeling to read about ourselves in the the NY DAILY NEWS and the reward we received (NYC's Best Sports Bar). It's also a nice feeling knowing that I, along with a lot of hard-working people helped to make this happen.

So that being said, last night's Happy Hour had the makings of Bizarro-World: Aside from the numerous well-wishers popping up all over the place. You had the regular contingent of annoyingly cheap interns (who made life hell for FRENCHY), tourists who didn't know that you ACTUALLY HAD TO PAY for a beer, techie-goons who were making life miserable for folks with their annoyingly large backpacks, and then this, rather unusual sight:

MR. TANQUERAY, NORBIT, DIRTY SANCHEZ, and TURBO, huddled around a corner of the bar.... playing "Barrel of Monkeys". I shit you not. Four grown men (and I use the term " loosely"), each with their own personality quirks, having a grand old time playing "Barrel of Monkeys" was a sight to behold. I only wished that I'd had the photo to commemorate such an event. Oh wait a minute.... if you look carefully, you may catch the grown men at the bar, concentrating on their newfound obsession.

It was one of those nights. Strange.







FUNNY MOMENT OF THE NIGHT

A group of off-duty cops were hanging out in front of the bar when this well-dressed, yet sloppy drunk came up to them and began chatting them up. He went on to trash cops, talking about how they do this, or how they do that, basically trashing the Men in Blue to shreds. The off-duty cops, impressively enough, don't react to him at all. The guy ends up sitting at their table, whooping it up with the group, totally oblivious of the fact that the new found friends that he thought he'd made were actually cops.

After about a half-hour of this, someone finally clued the poor guy in on the fact that everyone that he'd been talking with were cops. You should have seen his face turn white as he suddenly got up from where'd been sitting, excuse himself from the table and then make a beeline out of the bar. Funny stuff.
