The pizza-or-beer dilemma, solved
Alcohol is mankind’s fourth greatest accomplishment, behind indoor plumbing, the 1986 Mets and Ava Luna. But for all of its miraculous properties — like keeping us warm and encouraging us to recall that embarrassing childhood story — it contains no essential vitamins and minerals. Try subsisting on a liquid bread diet: you’ll end up a drunk emaciated husk like one of those starving zombies at the end of 28 Days Later. So what are you supposed to do if faced with the nightmarish choice of either drinking or filling your body with life sustaining nutrients? You consult the Brokelyn guide to beer and food specials is what. Read the rest of this entry »

Beth: comedienne, Brokelyn writer.
Who doesn’t need a real reason to spend Wednesday nights at a bar? This Wednesday, Feb. 17, our very own Beth Hoyt (of Connect Four tourney fame) is hosting a new event called Speakeasy, a free weekly story-telling series at the Sackett bar, one of our homes away from home (661 Sackett St. between Fourth and Fifth Aves.). Beth has a line-up of “funny and smart people,” including Jessie Cantrell, Ryan Paulson and others, who are going to get on stage and share their stories with you. It’s not really stand-up and not really improv—just awesome people telling tales. Read the rest of this entry »

Picture this scenario: you had a job interview in some foreign section of town and, if it went anything like our interviews, it was an unquestionable disaster, due to vague reasons of “not addressing the room” and less vague ones like “completely and totally flubbing questions about the economy for an economic reporter job.” Your morning hopes of being able to splurge on a $6 Hennepin in celebration have been replaced again by the afternoon reality of drink-special consolation. What you need is some sort of function or operation to help you find a cheap drink, and fast!
Thanks to the ever-expanding effort to leave no aspect of modern life un-apped, you are in luck. The Cocktail Compass from L Magazine and Night and Day Studios gives you access to a database of happy hour information for 866 bars (167 in Brooklyn, 662 in Manhattan). Read the rest of this entry »
Pour that pooch a pint! Find the best bar prices to benefit both you and your pup
We’ve told you about the cheapest places to dine outside, bars with free grub, and the best BYOB spots, but what love does BK have for your pup? Instead of shivering while watching Fido circle a section of sidewalk for 20 minutes (or paying a dog sitter to do the same), try this: we’ve compiled 16 bars that welcome patrons of both the two and four-legged persuasion, and listed their best prices for brokesters. If you’re an owner looking to spend quality boozing time with your canine, or a dog lover jonesin’ for a fix, add these spots to your must-frequent list. Disclaimer: We make no guarantee that your pooch won’t be walking you home at the end of a a long evening. Read the rest of this entry »
