Brian425 0 #1 October 20, 2008 So we are having a "Drink till you liver cries" party. I need suggestions for a place to go. It should be: CHEAP a dive within a 5 minute walk of 52 st and 6th Ave, NYC. Thanks in advance. B The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Rookie120 0 #5 October 20, 2008 There is a place called the Rodeo Bar. It is by 27th and 3rd I believe. They have great maragaritas and a fun enviroment. Price isnt to bad. The drinks are pretty strong and tasty.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus I don't think we want to hear about some poor drunk bastard falling off the George Washington bridge into the drink the next day.

Brian425 0 #9 October 20, 2008 Cheap is pints of beer $5 or under. It has to be walking 5 minutes walking distance from 52 and 6th. Otherwise people will flake. We all work for a famous investment bank that filed bankruptcy. So we are celebrating it's death as we wait to get laid off by the bank that bought us.

I just called my wife who works in Manhattan and asked for a cheap place in that area and she first laughed. Then she said to go to a liquor store and go back to your hotel. That about as close to cheap as your gonna get.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian425 0 #13 October 20, 2008 I work in the area. I am just tired of $9 pints of beer. That is why I said, $5 pints. We will find something, we really just want to get very drunk. Billy, I doubt that you have seen what the average NYC apratment looks like. 30 drunks will not fit. The apartments you saw on Friends is just not real.

Brian425 0 #19 October 22, 2008 I thought of Nelson Blue; but, it was a bit of a hike. We decided on Jimmy's Corner. http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7186489 I spoke with a few people and gave them a call. The woman who answered the call sold me. When I told her the group size and where we were from, she was concerned that we would fit and she could "take good care of us." I stopped by after work to chat with her. She poured me a pint (free) and walked me around. She showed me some of the pictures of Jimmy Glenn (a former boxer and trainer) and told me to come and have a good time. I don't know how to explain it. I was in there 15 minutes and I felt like I was at a friends's house with a cold beer in my hand. I'll give you the full review after the party. Probably on Friday because I fully expect a 2 day hangover. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Brian425 0 #25 October 24, 2008 So an update on our outing. We went to Jimmy's Corner. http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7186489 We had a great time. $3 bottle domestics, $4 mixed drinks. A dive; but, a friendly dive. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. And yes, my liver cried. I was in bed last night at 9:00PM.
