Manhattan edition? unpossible. posted by sweetkid at 1:33 PM on June 28, 2012
*cut to stock footage of hipsters walking around various manhattan tourist spots looking excited and confused*
VOICEOVER: Despite its reputation as Brooklyn's uptight (and expensive) big brother, Manhattan should not be overlooked as a destination in and of itself. Accessible by public transport, Manhattan is a great choice for a daytrip for Brooklynites as well as tourists looking to go off the beaten path. posted by the young rope-rider at 1:48 PM on June 28, 2012 [5 favorites]

Not sure if you've already checked this out, but sometimes Revival doesn't open til 4pm on weekends. posted by lalex at 7:57 PM on June 28, 2012
Even better. We'll have to jump the fence into their backyard. Stealth meetup. posted by the young rope-rider at 8:26 PM on June 28, 2012
Tee hee! If they're not open, and their website says they're not (although Revival can be fickle!), I'll throw Boxcar Lounge into the mix. It is not at all a squicky "lounge", there's a 2 for 1 happy hour, and they have a nice shady back patio. posted by lalex at 8:32 PM on June 28, 2012
Okay, we can go to boxcar lounge. I really don't care particularly much. Thanks for checking it. Girl, you keep this up, you gonna get deputized with special powers to be exercised only when I'm not in Manhattan (aka always) posted by the young rope-rider at 9:14 PM on June 28, 2012

Oh, I don't care at all where the meetup is! I love Revival with the white hot heat of a thousand suns, but more than once I have dragged people there on a sunny Saturday afternoon only to find it closed. I tried calling, but they didn't pick up THEY NEVER FREAKING PICK UP.
I mentioned Boxcar cause it's cheap and has a patio, but if anyone has other ideas chime in! posted by lalex at 9:33 PM on June 28, 2012
No one else has any ideas, they are too busy working on Wall Street and asking their doormen to rehang their moderately expensive paintings. Those crazy Manhattanites! posted by the young rope-rider at 9:47 PM on June 28, 2012 [2 favorites]
Oh noes I am a Manhattanite with no moderately or overly expensive paintings to hang :-(

Ryan Gosling? Do you need some movie assignments? posted by sweetkid at 10:20 PM on June 28, 2012
Yes, that dude, the fake Ryan Reynolds. (Or is RR the fake Gosling? Hmmmmm) posted by the young rope-rider at 10:23 PM on June 28, 2012

The traditional gifts indicating that Brooklyners come in peace are artisianal foodstuffs. Maybe we can lure a Ryan with them? posted by the young rope-rider at 10:46 PM on June 28, 2012
As a peace offereing, I will bring one Overpriced Rent Complaint and several Trendy Birthday Cake Truffles from Milk. posted by lalex at 11:35 PM on June 28, 2012

..... too busy working on Wall Street and asking their doormen to rehang their moderately expensive paintings.
No, silly, our trained monkey butlers hang expensive paintings depicting doormen rehanging out moderately expensive paintings depicting a photograph of us hanging a pink floyd poster in our dorm rooms. posted by lalochezia at 7:23 AM on June 29, 2012
I take this to mean you are coming to give a trained butler monkey lesson to us culturally impoverished outlanders. YOU ARE COMING, RIGHT? posted by the young rope-rider at 7:24 AM on June 29, 2012
