Sactown, the little known capitol of California is the hipster West Coast cousin of New York’s Albany. Trees line each street like one continuous suburb, houses are often separated by backyards, side yards, and alleys. There is space. More space than I’ve known for a while. And when walking down a street, you might passContinue reading “The Vibe: A Foray into Sacramento’s Bar Scene”

2.2 The Blue Notes – Le HasBeen
On top, curved like a capsized canoe, drifts an orange peel.
2.1 The Blue Notes – La Patache
The Parisian landscape is immersive yet alienating. Within reach, I could tap 15 people on the shoulder, but that wouldn’t be polite,
would it?
1.5 The Blue Notes–Panic Room
December 16th Panic Room—02h00 You still open? Of course. Doors down lies a packed bar. It’s where I wanted to go. Before we were sidetracked by L’Etincelle. A caricatured overweight, black doorman hassles us. He reels us in after a drawn out moment. Loud music. Loud people. Dirty, dark bar. Leftovers from all the otherContinue reading “1.5 The Blue Notes–Panic Room”
1.4 The Blue Notes – L’Etincelle
‘My umbrella, it’s my prized possession,’ he starts. ‘It gives me a look of sophistication and it protects me from rain.’
1.2 The Blue Notes – Le Cinquante
December 15th Le Cinquante—h0030 Down Rue de Lancry we walk. A car passes. People hover outside of a bar. People always hover outside of this bar. We enter. Foggy. Cramped. Everyone’s dressed in black. Bunch of late to the party beatniks, Hip boys and girls, probably design majors, who now work at bars and coffeeContinue reading “1.2 The Blue Notes – Le Cinquante”
World-Class Cocktails and a Landscape Redefined at CopperBay
The bar transcends the realms of a neighborhood staple and a cocktail bar on the world’s stage.
The Bonnie in Astoria: A Log Cabin in the City Bar
New York winters are tame, well, at least they have been since I moved here. Of course, by saying this, I risk being called out by my gf (afrosty apartment is different, ok?). It’s cold here, sure. But after one or two blankets of snow, the streets clear and Brooklyn metamorphasizes back into the unique,Continue reading “The Bonnie in Astoria: A Log Cabin in the City Bar”
Union Hall in Park Slope: The Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Bar
A good beer is never good enough. The only perfect beers are bad beers that accompany the best times. That’s what UH is really about.
Paris Isn’t Much of a Jungle, But There’s Always Tiger
I’m telling you–it was another misty winter night in Paris, same as all the others. Accompanied by sneakers and patterned socks, flowing overcoats and black-brimmed hats with pluming feathers, we arrive. It’s never so cold in Paris to not dress with elegance; life is never so challenging to not act with the same sentiment. TipContinue reading “Paris Isn’t Much of a Jungle, But There’s Always Tiger”
