If you can get the price of a beer low enough, I might even buy one for Andy. If worse comes to worse, we can all chip in and buy him a glass of Bud lite so he doesn't leave thinking we're cheap.
I WON'T contribute to that. Andy, if they buy you a Bud lite, I'll buy you a Bass.
I thought you were in for a brewski, not Bass. At least make it a new world beer if you're going to go all serious on us.

I'm a girl of tradition.

For what it's worth, I'm on the dive side rather than frou frou.

Fat Guy · June 22, 2003

If you want a serious dive bar go to Subway on 60th across from the Bloomingdale's loading dock.

We walked by this amazing place the other day, and were once again reminded of its existence; it appeared particularly dive-ish against the backdrop of a rainstorm. I think our group might be tough enough to handle it. If Andy meant what he wrote this could be ideal.

Why not try Brewsky's on East 7th Street?

OK prices. Dive atmosphere. Huge selection. Beer only.

Blondie · June 22, 2003

If it turns out to be Friday, I'm in.

Taking post-drink munchies into consideration, what about the Horseshoe Bar (aka 7B) on 7th and B? Dawgs on Park is next door, Crif Dogs, Habib's and Pommes Frites are a short walk away.

Its just going to be little old me I'm afraid!

Elissa · June 22, 2003

Why not meet at my place then? I live in China, but can have the cava shipped :biggrin:

Fat Guy · June 22, 2003

So like late afternoon/early evening meet-and-greet/cocktails/snacks/hanging-out at lissome's followed by hardcore dive-bar crawling later for anyone who wants to persist?

If it's the place I'm thinking of, we caught the end of a Knicks' playoff game some years back there. It seemed like a friendly place then. I don't recall a great choice in beer though -- maybe just Heinekin and the usual bar beers. We had just finished a meal at a nice restaurant in the area (now closed) and I wasn't having more than one beer anyway.

What a dish!

Any of those places recently mentioned are fine by me.

Andy! Bring some cool crisps! Smoky bacon!

Blondie · June 22, 2003

Andy! Bring some cool crisps! Smoky bacon!

Worcester Sauce!

Prawn Cocktail!

Andy Lynes · June 22, 2003

Tomato sauce! I'll bring a family pack.

(Don't they sell these in NY?).

elyse · June 22, 2003

Here, we have various bbqs, sour cream and onion, ketchup, sour cream and chives, salt and vinegar, salt and pepper, kosher dill pickle (which is giving me migraines), cheddar and sour cream (apparantly, sour cream is popular with us), and I'm drawing a blank. Old Bay. I'll bring you some of that. Pringles has some foul flavors.

No smoky bacon.

No tomato sauce.

No prawn cocktail.

No Worcester sauce.

NO roast chicken. Mmmmmm.

elyse · June 23, 2003

Tommy, I think you can get $12 beers at Peculiar Pub, Burp Castle, ans The Slaughtered Lamb. But they're great beers.

Suzanne F · June 23, 2003

Subway on 60th is a great place! I used to hang out there with my sous chef from Match (he told everybody I was his mother). Not much selection in beers, though.

Other possibilities: Zum Schneider, Avenue C and 7th, for German beers & food (I've not been, but some of the others have, right?); Liquor Store Bar (aka Rat Bar) West Broadway and White (up the street from Montrachet; maybe we could do takeout :laugh: ). If we actually get some good weather, both have outdoors. Puffy's Tavern, across the street from Chanterelle (ditto on the takeout??)

Wherever, I'll try to be in. My deadline is Thursday.

No to all of the above. Except for steak. :smile:

No we don't have them, or no you don't want them?

Andy:

Have a great trip!

Thursday is touch and go for me because a friend of mine is coming in from San Francisco and I presume I may be hanging out with him. But especially if you all are going to be in the East Village at some point, I'd be happy to join you if I am free when you're around here.

looks as though a case of champagne may be too much? :unsure:

elyse · June 23, 2003

Andy, do you have any itinerary?

Andy Lynes · June 23, 2003

I think we are meeting at Lissomes place. The earliest I could be there would be around 6.30pm I would guess.

elyse · June 23, 2003

But you have no personal itinerary?
