The cheapest beers at my local bar are like $4. A basic cocktail is like $8. I know you were doing a hyperbole but not everywhere is Times Square :(
Shit's still too expensive generally everywhere, but I feel like here I'm getting something for my money (eg: a subway system, sidewalks, free musuems, etc)
I am being hyperbolic, but $8? That's crazy cheap. That's like prices in the areas I do live. I don't live in NYC but I visit all the time. I think the cheapest I found was $18. Now, don't give your location away, but which section of NYC can be that low? I'd like to visit sometime!
Go to Rudy's for a porkslap, a shot, and a hot dog in the meatpacking district, five bucks.
There's a million places to go. You can find cheap, you just might not like it. I've had some of my most fun times at shithole bars in the city. Many nights ended at the croc lounge, may she rest in peace, a free bar pie with every beer you order.
Is a porkslap being slapped with pork or am I going to be disappointed?
Brooklyn, but not an expensive or "cool" part. Great train access, very walkable, plenty of bars and restaurants, but it's not someplace a tourist would likely come to first.
My current favorite bar seems like a neighborhood bar where there's regulars and the bartenders know people. Very different than like something in midtown manhattan, where it's pricey and there's an endless sea of people coming and going every night.
Ah I do like Brooklyn, but you're right I've only gone to touristy areas like fire island. I guess there's a tone of places I don't really go to. And obviously I'm in Manhattan a lot, though I too avoid Time Sq like the plague. It's good to know, I'm going to see if I can find smaller areas in Brooklyn to hang out. Thanks!
