I went my friend Amy to see “Ted”, which was
flat-out hysterical. I don't think I've laughed that hard at a movie
since “The Hangover”. After the flick was over Amy and I went
looking for a bar so we could catch up over a couple of libations. Amy's on the
perennial search for free shit (you can check out her blog about her hunt free stuff at Free Is Not a Four Letter Word), so she knew of some deal from some website for a free drink at a
place called Little Town NYC.

I liked the place. Lots of dark wood. A very pleasant bartender. Quick service. Easy view of the TV's to watch the All-Star Game on. All good things if you're going to get me to come back to your bar.
Little Town has
quite an extensive beer menu, which is always a plus. I'm not
exactly a beer “connisseur” but it's nice to have options. I wound up going with the Brooklyn Brown Ale. Amy drank something that came in a giant bottle. I don't really know what it was. They
also have a pretty good food menu. There's something called the
“garbage plate” that had both Amy and I quite intrigued. It
consisted of a burger, sliced sausage, baked beans, macaroni and
cheese and fried onions served over tater tots. I can't tell you how
tempted I was. But I voted it down because Amy's a lil lady and I
knew I'd wind up eating the majority of that behemoth myself. And
there's no way that can be good for you. Instead we got some garlic
fries that were tasty but I wish were of a thicker variety. We also
got the “I Love NY” platter. Which was knishes, pigs in blankets
and pretzel nuggets served with melted cheese and mustard. The
knishes were just slightly oily in the corners, which are the best
parts of knishes, but still very good.
In all, I liked Little Town. If I find
myself near Union Square and I'm in need of grazing I'll definitely
stop there for it. And if anyone beats me to trying that “garbage
plate” let me know how it is. It's definitely on my agenda.
