HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND!
As we roll into the holiday weekend, Manhattan seems to be a shell of itself as it's pretty apparent that the exodus out of town has gotten under way. Just got back from the bar and there are a few sad souls who actually had to work today and are drowning their sorrows during their lunch hour. The weather gods are making up for yesterday's clusterfuck of a day (sunny one hour, downpour the next, sunny one hour, more rain the next), and that bodes well for a fun weekend. The Yankees are playing a rare Friday afternoon game and Wimbledon is winding down; yes the summer season is indeed in high gear.
Last night turned out to be a pretty good night, in spite of the crazy weather. While a lot of folks began their long weekend in earnest, a lot of folks chose to stick around and make the best of their last night with work buddies before the holiday break. Lots of new faces and definitely lots of debauchery taking place. We ended up getting out pretty late but it was worth it as everyone seemed to have a good time. Our HEINEKEN LIGHT promo went well, even though it started out a bit late and the models they sent us were, shall we say, a bit wacky? That being said, they were personable enough to keep the patrons' attention.
We'll be open today as well as July 4th, so make sure to check out our WEBSITE for our great drink specials and activities during the holiday weekend! So for those of you who chose to stay in town this weekend, you know where to go....
So as we head into the holiday break, let us keep our thoughts and minds on the young men and women who continue to keep our shores safe and are fighting the good fight overseas. And also remember those who lost their lives to allow us to enjoy the things we sometimes take for granted as a part of our freedom.
Enjoy the weekend!

IT'S ALMOST FIREWORKS TIME!
Sorry for the long gap in between posts; Don't want to really get into the particulars, but let's just say it's been one of those weekends.....
As we begin a new week, it just dawned on me that we're already into July and the Fourth of July holiday weekend! Damn time sure flies! We've had our share of extremely hot days thus far and there's no end in sight. And with our dear friends at CON EDISON talking about going on strike, let's just say that I'm somewhat nervous about the state of our A.C. output. Keep your fingers crossed folks.
So what's on the agenda for the Fourth of July? Since the holiday falls on a Friday this year, it's somewhat difficult to predict what the masses will do. I'm sure there will be the usual exodus out of the city with folks headed to the Hamptons, Jersey Shore, or the Poconos. That being said, with the gas prices being what they are these days and the crazy shenanigans of the airline industry, we may find more people staying close to home this time around.
Macy's will hold their Annual Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration on the East River that night. Since we are only three blocks from the river, we usually get a good crowd at the bar before AND after the fireworks. And as tradition dictates, we always serve up our classic Red, White and Blue special: Pabst Blue Ribbon Buckets 5/$10.00 (or $3.00ea.), all night long! That goes along with our regular Friday Happy Hour Special ($4.00 all Draft Beers and Mixed Well Drinks, 5-10pm), which makes for an enjoyable Fourth of July all around!
EURO '08: Congrats to SPAIN on a hard-fought, well-deserved victory over GERMANY in yesterday's EURO '08 Final, 1-0.
The tournament itself was (for the most part), smoothly run and pretty exciting to follow. It was a nice shot in the arm for the bar as it brought about a whole new set of patrons that we wouldn't have seen normally. It never ceases to amaze me the passion that follows this sport. Granted, for a place like ours, the only time we really get to experience it is during worldwide events such as the Euro Cup or the World Cup, however, every time one of these events take place, the passionate fans of various countries come out in full force and it is a sight to behold.
HAPPY TRAILS
One of our regulars got a sweet fellowship gig in Washington D.C. and a group of his friends decided to throw him a going-away party on Thursday night. It's always nice to see groups of close friends getting together for various reasons, especially when it's something like a going away party. While D.C. is only four hours away, I'm sure he will be missed by all. Good luck in D.C.!
Good Luck in D.C. Joe!
Is poor Lenny ready to puke here? Hope not...
Again, sincere apologies for the lack of posts the past few days. A lot of stuff going on behind the scenes.... and there's only but so much time in my day. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
