Men like their beer. But every now and then, having to use the can comes between a man and his beer.
When you're at a sporting event, you don't want to leave your drink by its lonesome. Your beer could get lonely! I mean, it's not like most men worry about ...

Observe this photo, taken in a restaurant restroom.
Fancy pants! A designer sink and faucet, a scented candle, glass tiles... what you don't see is the recessed lighting and the vase with fresh flowers.
Which of the following menu items would you see when sitting back down at the table after leaving ...

It seemed like a perfectly good idea at the time. One of the biggest drunkfests of the year for the Irish and wannabe-Irish alike is the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Hoboken. I'm Irish. I like booze. I was free Saturday. I was willing to put aside the fact that people in New Jersey clearly ...

I ate at Ted's Montana Grill today. It's a decent little joint, even if the service seems a little disjointed. They've got Bison Burgers and some pretty decent fries - for a chain. It's like a slightly classier TGI Friday's, only without the fat red-state tourist traffic.
Why is it called ...

There's nothing better than a 2-hour lunch on a Friday afternoon, with good food, beer, and boobies.
Yes, boobies. And not the blue-footed kind. Although I've heard they're delicious when grilled and served over rice.
Just kidding. After all, who could imagine eating something so ugly?
I went to the Hawaiian Tropic Zone on ...

I came across this gum at the bodega yesterday:
Orbit Mint Mojito Gum.
I have three questions:
1. If a man bought this flavor of gum, wouldn't that be a little... you know... gay?
2. Isn't "Mint Mojito" a redundant name for a flavor?
3. Couldn't this be like Nicorette for alcoholics?

Despite the abundance of 24-hour food service operations in New York, at 2:30am on a Saturday night, options for food dramatically decrease here. In addition, considering the lack of sobriety among the hungry at 2:30 am on a Saturday night, the perception of the quality of these options for food ...

It's New Year's Resolution time! As a courtesy to you, I will not bore you with my own resolutions (mainly because I haven't made any), but I will instead make warnings to you regarding New Year's Resolution season.
For the next three weeks, the following places will be significantly busier than ...

I talk a lot of smack about Connecticut. But on a 2-hour train ride back into the city, I was sandwiched in a middle seat on Metro-North between a guy who smelled musty and someone's dog in a carrying case. The musty smell, when the breeze was blowing just right, made ...

On Wednesday night, my girlfriend and I went to Barcade for a couple of microbrews and some rousing rounds of Q-bert. I was in the middle of a game of Tetris, and she asked me if I wanted anything. I knew that I could never go wrong at Barcade, so ...
