Don't Drink & Blog

As you can probably tell from my last entry, I was a little tipsy. Kitty and I don't often go out on the town like that and having her sister-in-law in town helped break us out of our usual habits. I woke up this morning totally energized and ready for work. I can see why New Yorkers would go out on a regular basis. Imagine going out like we did last night. Now, consider that here in the city, you could do it every single night with different permutations of bars and restaurants with infinite possibilities. No other city in the country can claim this distinction when you add in the fact that you can hop on the train and get your sorry backside home safe and sound!

I told Kitty the other day that my new goal is to explore some of these fancier restaurants and also the bar and club scene before we end up leaving our fair city. (not that moving will happen any time soon!)

How to end your expense account in one day...

NYC. It's great for really wrecking your relationship with your employer. In this case, imagine if you will:

Drinks for three at Verlaine.

Two Lychee Martinis. One house red, one house white. One Vietnamese Bloody Mary. One White Sangria.

Oh, don't forget an order of Fried Calamari to help it all down.

Dinner for three at Stanton Social:

Two Kobe sliders. One order of French Onion Soup Dumplings. One order of Perogies with Garlic sauce. One order of East Side pickles. A bottle of 2004 Chateau Pascaud Bordeaux.

The total tab? $150 bucks.

Screwing "the Man" for a great meal out in the hottest neighborhood in the city? Priceless.

Hey... we could have done a whole lot worse... Have you seen the wine list in midtown? :)
