Yesterday’s Page 6 Magazine featured Candace Bushnell talking about all of her Manhattan Hot-Spots (including Bungalow) that inspired the Fab-Four’s galavanting across the city. In an effort to enforce the everywoman tradition, I’ve compiled my own “Rah Rah New Yorkisms”. As you can imagine, they require mostly jeans, t-shirts, and comfortable footwear—though, of course the accessories are all your own.
- Best Place to Get a (Cheapish) Drink: 4th Ave Pub. If you insisted, I’m sure the barkeep would shake a cosmo for ya, but let’s get real. It’s 2008, I’m sporting my slip-on sneaks, and I’m looking for some frosty refreshment. This place has 28 beers on tap, and you’ve most likely heard of between 6-10 of them. Perfect.If you’re feeling adventurous, go there, if not, go with something classy but safe, and enjoy the free popcorn. Best part? After you’ve had both your buy-one-get-ones during happy hour you can irritate everyone behind you in the bathroom line by doodling on the chalkboard wall
- Best Way to Get Around Town: Doubling on a Bike. This is great for toning those summer thighs, ladies! And, it’s green. Plus, you get to pause for breaks with your bff and break into thunderous giggles. Warning: Taking turns is recommended. Also, try not to get hit by gas-guzzling vehicles.
- Best Place to Get a (Cheap) Eat: Christie’s Jamaican Patties on Flatbush. Only a few short blocks from Prospect Park, a beef or veggie patty from this fixture can be procured by scraping together the loose change at the bottom of your laundry basket. Even better with Cocoa Bread. Yum!
- Best Place to Go Dancing: Any rooftop during a house party, Eric Nies style, preferably.
- Best Place to Meet Future Smooch Partner: Outdoor Music Festivals. You’ve got Siren Fest, Celebrate Brooklyn, and River to River. Listen to band’s music before going. Stand close to stage to find die-hard fans. Use the fate of a mutual love of music as an adhesive. Apply one another’s lips.
