Введение

It was a cold, windy night and I was running New York City with a blond chick with… shall we say… casual morals. Our 4th stop of the night, she takes me to this dark bar on 52nd Street near 8th Avenue. A few steps down through this nondescript door and you walk in to another world. It was loud, boisterous, and lively. Music playing. People singing. Waiters diving through the crowd with the dexterity of a Bolshoi dancer. Bartenders doing a back-to-back waltz pouring drinks, making cocktails, and swiping credit cards.

As my eyes, ears, and nose adjusted to this rather raucous environment off the cold dark midtown street I suddenly realized that I stepped into another world…

This place… it’s amazing. The food is like Italian food but without the sauce, but not really. And the vodka, they had that, too.

Last time I came here, I spent no money, learned the words to “Piano Man” in Russian, and woke up without my underwear.

The glimmering sheen on this Subway turkey is reminiscent of an oil-soaked duck in Louisiana.

So I said to the cop, "That car was on fire when I got here. And as for the kid's grandma? She shouldn't have mouthed off at me." True story.
