<h2> One day in and still getting used to it</h2> So, there it was, staring at me from my MySpace.com profile; 40. A milestone age or so they say. Am I supposed to feel different? I still feel like the same mixed-up guy I was at 20. Oh sure, now it may take me a little longer to recover f...
<h2>Is this supposed to make you want to drink scotch?</h2> I like Chivas Regal. It is a fine Scotch-Whiskey indeed. However, had I not already known this, then what I read today would not have convinced me to try it. ...
Honestly the idea that all bar conversations should be strictly kept to the trivial is just ridiculous....
<h2>The famous last words of a doomed man</h2> My night started out innocently enough. I had been working on one new project and two older projects all day and by 11:00 or so I felt I needed to get out for a drink. It was my buddy Sags's birthday celebration over at DC's (505 Eighth St, H...
<h2>Where love (and booze) calls you by name</h2> "Where everyone knows your name," isn't just a corny cliché from that 'must-see' sitcom of days gone by. At No Idea Bar (30 W 20th St, NYC), it's an actual fact. Every night is a different 'name night'. If your name matches the one on the ...
<h2>When not being able to sleep is a good thing</h2> I spent the day with my family stuffing myself with hamburgers, steak, chicken, various salads and deserts. You know, the traditional method of celebrating my American freedoms. On my way back to my apartment in Hoboken, I felt myself ...
<h2>I want to get drunk but how I don't know cause I'm busted</h2> I still have no regrets about leaving the politically-crooked and stress-ridden world of corporate publishing. In fact, I recently got even more infuriated with the whole thing when I noticed something my previous employer...
<h2>You hear about things like this, but only in the movies</h2> Honestly, who has actually ever gone thru with crashing a wedding? Sure it sounds like fun. You wait until the dance floor is full and the crowd is sufficiently intoxicated, then make your move. Chug a few drinks, mingle car...
<h2>Quiet or you'll wake Jesus ... and the neighbors</h2> It was a nice night for me. No bands to see. No agenda other than to have fun. It was my friend Michelle's birthday and a bunch of Hoboken regulars would be holding court at Louise & Jerry's (329 Washington St. Hoboken). Those who ...
<h2>A true Hoboken landmark seriously damaged</h2> I woke up just before 5:00 AM to that distinct smell of an electrical fire and burning wood. Moments later I heard the sirens and the commotion. Later in the morning I found out that the fire started in the second floor apartment over Hel...
<h2>Coincidence and curiosity on a night of music and food</h2> I got a text message last night from my friend Helen saying to meet her at the Port Authority by 10:15. Arriving a little early, I stopped by McCann’s for a couple of drinks. I sat and listened to conversations about run-ins ...
<h2>Discovering a new bar and reconnecting with a friend</h2> It was a few minutes past 6:00 and I was walking to meet my friend Aileen Quinn (who you may know as Little Orphan Annie from the movie 'Annie'). A couple of thoughts were passing thru my weary brain along the way. First was ho...
But the conversation continued as the New Jersey smoking ban went into effect...
<h2>I think I know what I'm talking about ... until I talk to these guys!</h2> Last night I was at Harmony View to once again celebrate the departure of yet another Hachette employee. She had fallen victim to the same mismanagement that is contributing to the ongoing gutting of web busine...
