I’ll be visiting and cat-sitting for a friend in the Ridgewood/Glendale area June 7th til around the 20th. Going to a ‘bar italia’ show with my girlfriend which I can only imagine will be crawling with mafiosos (they have four sold out shows booked in the city that week). Any other mafia-tourism activities you guys might recommend/warn against?
i guess the real spirit of the culture mafia so far as i can tell is online. going round the chelsea galleries is great if you have any interest in that kind of thing, you can head for the several gagosians, pace, dia, david zwirner and microscope, and then pop into whatever else looks good through the window. the galleries in tribeca are probably a bit more zeitgeisty, but harder to navigate. anthology film archives isn't exactly BCM, it feels more like a holdover from a previous wave of nyc intellegencia, but it's still in the right ballpark. metrograph (a cinema) in in dimes square and is pure BCM. you could also go and eat in Dimes restaurant itself, or kikis, both very BCM and neither are particularly expensive, hard to get into or difficult in any way

the stone is good if you like the stuff that's covered in wire. roulette and issue project room likewise. for clubs, nowadays is cool and it's a good place to see the kind of club that i think could only exist in brooklyn, public records fits into that category too, they both have this combination of being....i don't know. they're brooklyn fashionable, that's the best way i can explain it. killer soundsystems as well. maria hernandez park is near you and is the locus of the bushwick thing.

It's funny cos when I read Dilbert's post I totally forgot the entire premise of the thread and thought he wanted to hang out with people called Bobby the Bull and Fat Frankie.

If I were in Brooklyn I would definitely go to Mercury Lounge with you Stan - whatever it is.

Nearby Mercury Lounge is the Double Down Saloon, famous for their signature “Ass Juice” cocktail. One may enjoy it while watching hardcore pornography on the televisions behind the bar.

It tasted vaguely like an Arnold Palmer.
I'm sure he'd be pleased to learn he tastes like something called arse juice.

I thought Arnold Palmer was a non-alcoholic cocktail though... surely you can't have a drink called Anal Leakage that is non-alcoholic.

Yeah that’s part of why I found it so strange: it kinda tasted like iced tea + lemonade. I presume there is an awkward/sloppy mix of several hard liquors, maybe like a Long Island Iced Tea (which I still haven’t tried)

So what you're saying is that ass juice just tastes like iced tea and lemonade? I have to say that that is quite a surprise to me. Have you ever tried the cocktail of the same name?

The ass juice I thought tasted like an Arnold Palmer, but I’m not sure if iced tea or lemonade were ingredients in the ass juice.
