by Abraham Walizer on Pros: - The perfect summer spot that is unlike anywhere else in Manhattan - The boat is essentially an adult jungle gym. Explore all you want without any supervision. - Sunset on the Hudson River - Old Bay fries! Cons: - Expensive drinks - Closes around 1 AM - Far away from civilization Verdict: This is by far the most unique and best outdoor drinking spot in New York City. Let's hope that the health department doesn't shut it down again.
by Emil Dequattro on I knew there was a $20 cover, but I did not know that they did not accept card! I'm unfamiliar with how SF does it cuz everywhere in SD accepts card for cover! B/c of that, the bouncers were so rude to us!! The inside of this place is pretty nice, it's got a lot of different rooms, is pretty spacious, and has an asian-ish theme going on with their asian-y... statue... thingies... yeahhhh. Music kinda sucked though. But then again, I get spoiled by the good music my friend dj sG plays in San Diego! And guys are SO aggressive here!! The whole thing was very different from San Diego. I must say, guys are a lot uglier there too. Sorry. Yes, I know I'm going to get a lot of haters for that. Whatever!! I had a good time. I forgot to mention, the bartenders are not the greatest. My jolly rancher tasted like cough syrup, my midori sour was weird. These were from different bartenders!
by Lauren S. on While sitting on my couch last weekend, watching re-runs of Scrubs on Comedy Central and eating some Breyer's strawberry ice cream out of the carton, it dawned on me that I'm not 60 years old yet, and I should probably get out of the house on a Saturday night. I grabbed Boyfriend and decided it was time to go a'dancing. We paid the $12 cover to get into Bootie (which we were slightly not psyched about), but were relieved to see that the beers were just $5. The place is adorned with little pirate flags everywhere- so yes, I get the cute play on the word "Bootie": come dress like a pirate hooker and shake it all night. Very cute. Anyhow, the guest DJ was slammin'...very different from your standard hip hop club (this threw Boyfriend off a bit, at first, as he's used to grindin' to the platinum hits of Lil' Wayne). After some slight confusion on our part (yes, the DJ is playing a mashup of "Smells Like Teen Spirit", and yes, you CAN dance to it), we threw back a few more beers and a shot of absinthe and we were head banging and grooving with the best of 'em. Awesome mixes, from "Satisfaction" to the old school "Wild Wild West" and everything in between. Definitely not your homeboy's Saturday night spot; check this out if you're in the mood for a unique dancing night. Or if you just need an excuse to dress like a pirate hooker.
