So Many Things, part 7

1. Lunchables.

2. Eagle Cam.

3. The "El Guapo" drink special at The Library. A shot of tequila and 24oz of Tecate -- why not?

4. Sunday on the couch watching a Dexter marathon. (Thanks, in part, to the "El Guapo" drink special...)

5. A roommate kind enough to venture out on a Sunday morning and return with bagels.

6. Hot pink Post-It notes.

7. The puppy park at Tompkins Square.

8. The fact that once you put a silk scarf over a cardboard box, you can call it a nightstand and not feel at all like you're living in a crack den.

9. Green satin slippers.

10. Coffee mugs the size of my head.

Whiskey Nights

I doubt I will ever find a bar that I will hold in my heart quite like I do The Great Nabob in Seattle. That place was my home for awhile when I didn't really feel like I had one. I made a lot of good friends there, I fell in love there, and I got my heart broken there. That's a lot of memory for one place to hold.

But I'm gonna keep trying to find its East Coast replacement -- except maybe this time, I'll pass on the whole heartbreak thing. Done with that for awhile.

I haven't had much luck. It took me five years to find the Nabob, though, and I've only been here eight months. There will be a lot of Jameson imbibed before I find the one, methinks.

Right now, I'm a fan of The Library at Avenue A and E 1st St. Books, skulls, spiked apple cider to keep you warm through the harshest bit of New York winter. And the two-for-one happy hour doesn't hurt anything.

Raise your glass and get it going,
