Carlo and Esru (the impact of drunken bbm)

Out at Arlo and Esme: downstairs at this bar I feel like I am at some euro trash club. I would say I don't like it, but I do. Good people, some crazy looking club girl with shiny pants, and best of all I still get to chill on a couch. Couches or sitting otherwise allocated makes for a pleasurable experience.

This bar also has a gated porch so u can enjoy a drink outside if u get to hot from the crowded interior...sweet. They also make use of large industrial fans. Who needs ac when you can stand next to a blowing wind.

I should tell you now...there was no evading the hipster element. Tight jeans t-shirt with clever wording hat and white glasses...without prescription

Also, they have a DJ spinning tunes. At around 12 they started mixing the best of the 80s...version 3.

It wasn't cheap, and I don't know if it was worth it, but after a few gin and tonics into the night; are you really going to notice?

Shaking things up at the shake shack

I finally got a shake from the shake shack; two words: "Fucking Delicious". I had to wait online for 20 minutes on line and then 15 for them to shake the sucker up, but it was worth it.

Some advice: they have a b-line. Yeah I get it you can make a b-line for the stuff most people don't want like $3.50 for a designer dog biscuit. Seriously though, if you want to get some ice cream or a drink you don't have to wait on line for the whole time. That's a big plus considering that the 30 minutes it took to score some ice cream was short compared to what the line usually runs ( all around Madison Square Park), but like their onsie proudly states, "I've waited 9 months, this line is nothing!"
