The web is crawling with websites that tell you where you should drink in New York City and we think that’s fine. Those sites are all nice and, truthfully, some of them are so informative that I can sometimes be found scanning them to find new places to imbibe. Sometimes, I even like the watering holes I find on My Open Bar, Free NYC, Citysearch, Murph Guide, etc., enough to visit more than once but these sites all have a certain Manhattan and gentrified Brooklyn and Queens slant to them, which makes sense since that’s where most people that visit said sites want to drink. We do things differently here, to an extent at least.

While we will make visits and post on “dives” in certain Manhattan and gentrified BK and QB hoods, we’re going to try to uncover those diamonds in the rough that chicks who think their Samantha from Sex and The City and overpaid college-after-college knuckleheads would never even dare set foot in. Alcohol’s our hobby and our precarious employment situation makes it imperative that we indulge that hobby as cheaply as possible.

So, yeah. We’re gonna talk about Beauty Bar, which happens to be a pretty cool spot, even if it’s solidly in the “faux dive” category but we’re also gonna blaze a liquor-laden trail through some New York City neighborhoods nobody thinks to drink in. And to be honest, I’m not even sure what we’re gonna find. I just hope it’s as much fun and compelling for us as it is for you.

Maspeth here we come! Look the fuck out…
