got salt?


my friend brady and i went to one of our favorite hangouts in chelsea a few weeks ago and it dawned on me today that i should share this picture with everyone.

i am not sure it's visible, but the woman at the bar is wearing a t-shirt that says "got salt?"

as in "yo! you got any salt? i have to consume as much tequila as possible...but don't worry, i brought the limes with me."

she came into the bar with about 10 ladies who looked about 60ish. they were having a ladies' night out of sorts and at first i scoffed at the shirt--i mean, come on.

but the more i looked at it the more i laughed. it might not be so entertaining to you and your sophisticated sense of humor, but i was dying! this bar is one of the best for reasons just like this one. ok, and this one. and even this one. it's like central casting for crazy movie characters in a soon-to-be-cast Ed Burns flick.

we have :
  • the woman in the corner who drinks wine and sings to herself
  • the fratty i-banker dorks playing "Golden Tee"
  • the firemen on a break
  • the random celebs
  • kinda cute aisain tourist couple making out
  • the random SNL castmembers
  • old men with weird pirate mustaches (i SWEAR, my camera just died but he was totally sitting next to the guy in the picture)
  • the 700 year-old bartender who makes you pay for everything immediately
  • the "food" waitress who wears a dorothy costume from the "Wizard of Oz" inexplicably
  • the 2 coolest chicks you'll ever meet.
so yeah, basically it's 'da bomb. and yes, i am fully aware i just said "'da bomb" but it is. and i ain't telling yous where it is cause i dont need some super fashionable people coming over and ordering cosmos, cabernets or the like, complaining about how many carbs there are in air and then in turn they're jacking up the prices of my 2$ drafts. you have the rest of manhattan for that. they already offer light beer, and that's enough in my book.

Okay Lovee! Peter McManus has the best greasy burgers in town and shallo!! Ed Burn's dad hangs out there. He's the old guy in the right elbow of the bar. Leaves just as it's gettin' crowded.
