Boozy nights

On Wednesday night I met up with some old co-workers at Blue Ribbon Bar in the West Village. It's got a great ambience and I did enjoy the Old Speckled Hen ale that they had on tap.

Afterwards we headed to Daddy O's whose ambience was less desirable but whose tater tots were for real.

Last night I had a friend in town for work and we met up in Union Square where we had drinks at Lucy Latin Kitchen followed by tapas at Pipa where the crispy calamari can't be beat. We finished off at Heartland Brewery for some Indiana Pale Ale.

It then took me forever to catch a cab. I pretty much walked from 18th and B'way to Bowery and Canal (~2 miles?) to get a cab to go home to BK! I now see why I never go out to Manhattan on Saturday nights...
