The perfect happy hour

Yesterday I touched on fear of death, the idealization of youth, and the longing for immortality. If you didn’t pick up on all of that Dear Readers, you just have to read more carefully. Its all there, I assure you.


Today I shall further expound on this theme and broach the subject that all of us, especially those in NYC, find ourselves forever in search of: the perfect Happy Hour.

One resource for effectively dealing with ignorance relating to happy hour is this fantastic website called mappyhour.com

And yes, that is Mappyhour, NOT Happyhour. M, as in MAP. Which is pretty much what it is. You put in your location and it gives you a Google map of the area with all the happy hours marked. Pretty cool eh?

You know, I just looked out the window and discovered I have a pet peeve I never was aware of: khaki pants with tennis shoes. Yuck!

And who am I to talk right? I couldn’t tell fashion if it…if it…you know, bit me. Or something. But one thing I DO know is happy hour! (to get back to our topic here). For those of you in NY or those of you who are soon going to visit to help buy me drinks (looking at you Tara and Jordan), we discovered this incredible bar in Greenwich village last week that has really really really amazing cocktails and happy hour from 5 to 8! All their cocktails are $6 during this time, and while that might not sound like the BEST deal, I have to stress that I put three “really”s before the “amazing cocktails”. I jest not. They are that good. We’re talking Cognac with Honey and stuff like that. Not your usual drinks. They have 12 or so specialty drinks (oh yah, and a freakin incredible margarita!) and I think I tried them all that day. Ok not all of them, and most of them were other peoples which I stole sips from when they weren’t looking, but I did try a lot of them, so I feel I can speak with some authority on this.

The place is called Dove.

Yah, just plain Dove. Let me see if I can find the website….oh wow they actually have the cocktail list online! Very cool. http://thedoveparlour.com/

Ok, I guess that’s it for today. Back to poker…
