Karaoke Night

Back to the Upper East for the second consecutive night?! Had much work to do, but once I was finished, met P-Bear at Trinity Pub (84th & 2nd) for a couple of beers. We'd both never been before - it was legit. Bartender was supa cool, though it seemed more of an after-dinner "date" joint. Great b-room blends, and a cool giant painting of three old dudes sitting wasted at a bar. One thing leads to another and we literally walk fifty paces to Dorrian's (me first time). This place was ridiculous. It's a Tuesday night at 1 A.M., it's pretty crowded, and it's karaoke night! Order (and consume) many drinks, sing/scream many songs, including one of my all-time favorites, Dead or Alive, by JBJ. There is one guy who is doing things that would normally get you kicked out of any other bar in the city -- but he is good buddies withe bouncer. He takes his pants off while dancing, he throws his empty glass back behind the bar, and he puts his leg up on the table of a young couple not enjoying an awkward date; he does all of these things and people just stare and laugh -- but doesn't get the boot. There are blends around, in the air. I have a great first night at Dorrian's. Taxi back to 9 & 3/4 at 3 A.M.
