Oh, more about Utah drinking--

There is a great place downtown called the Bayou with over 200 beers (about 30 or so on tap I think).  Beer list and location is on the site.  It's great, but not the cheapest.

137th and Broadway, boyee! I'm not in Inwood yet, but I feel your pain- none of my Brooklyn friends ever want to come up.


But they think you should come to Brooklyn, right?  My friends in Brooklyn always seemed to think that the distance I had to travel from the Bronx to Brooklyn was somehow shorter than the distance they would have to travel from Brooklyn to the Bronx.  Something about the greater comparative coolness of Brooklyn warping the space-time continuum, I figure.

Of course they do, and then act suprised when I tell them I'm sleeping there. Every time I head over, it's like I'm on the god-damned Oregon Trail, and that's only if I'm going to my friends who live on Bedford, the first stop in Brooklyn on the L (and the most pretention per square acre in all of BKLYN). I have a friend who lives off of the G line, a subway line I didn't even know existed until she told me to go there.
In any case, at least I live on the same damn island as places that aren't bars that might possibly be open after 11 pm- where's your Gray's Papaya, Brooklyn? No recession special for you!

Note: I google map'd to make sure there were no Gray's Papayas in Brooklyn; in one of the listings, there was a quote:

There are only a few reasons to venture out to the Upper West Side:
Gray's Papaya, Riverside Park, and the Natural History Museum.

Fuck you, Metroblogging. Fuck you in your EYES.

The Ying-a-ling is at damn well near every bar in the DC area these days.  This is a good thing.  It was our beer of choice at parties in college--Yuengling Lager for open parties, Yuengling Black & Tan for brothers-only events.  (Yes, I was in a fraternity.  If you don't like it, tough shit.)

Jough, you ever been up to Stoudt's in Adamstown?  Damn fine beers, and they have highly enjoyable microbrew festivals and such.  The hard part is figuring out how to get home, though.

Thanks for this, it will be very helpful.  My family lives up in the DC (Davis County) so I may or may not make it into the city to go to, like, places where drinkin' is done publically.

Brooklyn.  Who needs it.  I ask you.

Maybe we should have some kind of NYC TOUAMB get together?  I think there is at least one other person on the board from NYC, or at least there was at some point.  Has this ever been attempted before?

OK, cool.  The only people I know in DC don't drink, but I'll see if I can find anything out.

I was kind of hoping that it made you into the Incredible Aloha Hulk- a kinder, gentler Hulk, who wears bermuda shorts and kayaks. Maybe he has a beard.
But I know how the adrenaline thing is, although my ongoing experience with it is short-term- because I'm going off that medicine, my body is basically experiencing a low-level panic attack at all times. My adrenaline levels are boosted to the roof right now; consequently, every time I eat something, there's a two hour period that comes twenty minutes later where I get a constant stomach pain, the kind you get from a square-on hit in the balls. Is that the sort of stomach pain you had, AD?


That'd definitely one of them. There is this other weird one that feels like someone stuck an icepick in by belly button. The pain follows a nerve or something, goes due south and terminates after passing through my secret junk.

Paddling was what solved all these problems, just that constant rhythmic exercise (and helping pull a 600 lb boat with 5 200+ lb guys in it.)
