Scenic

Today’s entry can serve as a template for every 20-something NYC blog out there:

Last night, I met up with INSERT NAME at INSERT BAR in WILLIAMSBURG LES EV to see their friend spin. We threw back a few PBRs while listening to CHOOSE STROKES SHINS SPREE ARCADE FIRE OR CURRENT IT BAND. We met these two GIRLS OR BOYS who were from OHIO OR FLORIDA and got so wasted, but ended up staggering home alone after last call.

…
Of course my version is for a thirty-something:

Last night I met up with Erik at Scenic in the East Village because it was conveniently close to my long-term girlfriend’s warm apartment. His co-worker was “spinning,” which is slang for touching the play button. He played a mash-up of Fugazi and some singer and we both thought the Fugazi was well-enough left alone. We had a PBR and then immediately switched to Guinness, despite the fact it is double the price. We met no one. At 12:30 we left. I bought some milk on the way home.

Scenic is just another bar in the space formerly occupied by Guernica. The one point of interest is a room long curio cabinet that holds an enormous number of souvenirs and knick-knacks (today’s pic).
