New York City Bars: Twenty Dollars Well Spent

Double Down Saloon
14 Avenue A, Alphabet City
Me: PBR and bourbon $6
The Old Lady: Bud Light $3
Neither of us had the guts: famed bacon martini, $7


Also, the old lady wouldn't ride the horse.


Greenpoint Tavern
188 Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg
Me and the Old Lady: 32 oz Bud Light in styrofoam cup

Brooklyn Surf Bar
139 North 6th Street, Williamsburg
Drinks weren't really all that cheap, but seriously, when you've got sand beach in your bar, who the fuck is counting pennies.

Duff's
Scenically located on the shore of the east river at 3rd and Kent, Brooklyn
Closed due to bathroom incident. Purchased novelty commemorative t-shirts, $12. Walked briskly from abandoned east river warehouse district back to relative safety of 3rd and Berry Street.
