Post work, headed into NYC via the PATH from Hoesboken with CED. We headed first off to Blind Tiger Ale House. This lovely gem of a bar reopened in a new location recently after being closed for a while. With approximately 28 beers on draft to choose from, the decisions were tough. We started strong and finished strong. First, the Rouge I2PA. Strong, chock full of hops and sweet. Two Thumbs Up! Then, we had Great Divide Samurai Ale. We didn’t like it, but it was a rice beer, so that was cool. Finally, Acme IPA. I liked it. It’s a pretty standard IPA. Kinda malty.
Left there and had food at Cosi. It took forever for a fast-ish food place. It was OK. I even asked the waiter for the check after sitting around for 20 minutes waiting which I NEVER do. He said “in a minute” We shouldn’t of even paid for the food, but we did and left without even getting the check. Probably paid way too much, but anyway.
Left there and headed to Nevada Smiths for a pint and waited for Forrest to call us. Met Forrest, Jessica and Ian outside Irving. Sold my extra ticket to a beautiful blonde girl for her friend. I should have sold it for more than I did. Hindsight’s 20/20 my friends.
Finally, got into Irving and saw Architecture in Helsinki play. They played mostly new songs, which I liked, then some of the older songs. When they started playing Do The Whirlwind, they totally mashed it up and did a remixed version. It was awesome! I love big bands that switch instruments and play differently on each song.
Left for the drunktank aka The PATH back to Hoesboken and got back to NJ safe and sound.
Today, I rode my bike and was unsuccessful at the Salvation Army. Of to Veggie Heaven soon, then Andy’s. Wish me luck!
