Featured Story / November 30, 2017 / No Comments.

SantaCon

With so much to do and so much to see, we decided to make things easier for you. We’ve created the ultimate NYC holiday roundup. From holiday markets, to pop-up bars, to shows – there’s something for everyone. Click through the links below to find all the info about what event you need to hit in NYC this winter. Get your drink on and be merry!

EVENTS:

Skating at Bryant Park

Free skating (if you bring your own skates) daily through March 4th!

Rockefeller Tree

The tree has been lit! Did you even go to NYC if you didn’t take a picture in front of the Rockefeller Tree?

Dyker Heights Christmas Lights Tour

A Slice of Brooklyn hosts a tour every night in December (excluding Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve). Explore the houses both on foot and by bus. Trust us, these decorations are legit.

Holiday Window Displays

Free and easy. Check out the famous winter window displays at Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Tiffany & Co. and more!

Unsilent Night

Created by composer Phil Kline, participants are asked to meet under the Washington Square arch with boom-boxes and are given a cassette or CD of one of four different atmospheric tracks (you can also come with just your cellphone and download the Unsilent Night app). Everyone presses play at the same time and marches through the streets of New York together, blending their music and filling the air with a beautiful echoing 45-minute piece.

SantaCon

This charity focused bar crawl is our favorite holiday event in New York. Everyone gathers wearing their best Santa suit and hits the bars on December 9th. Be sure to check their website for the starting locations and more!

Santa Suit 5k

Like SantaCon but with jogging. This 3.1 mile-long “race” can be completed by running or walking and finishes with dancing, drinking and eating.

End Summer With A Pub Crawl

Our Stories / August 28, 2012 / No Comments.

Labor Day is for day drinking. When we think of Labor Day weekend it’s imagining a cooler of drinks, a grill and a pool, with all of your friends. But for the urbanites out there you should be bar hopping. While we totally understand wanting to spend the entire night at your favorite bar, you have every other night of the year to do that. Your goal should be to visit as many awesome watering holes on foot as you possibly can.

We came across a pretty cool new website called Pubwalk and it helps you plan the perfect pub crawl in your city. Although it can be fun to drink and just stumble around town looking for new places, there’s also something to be said for planning ahead. Pubwalk doesn’t just cover the best local bars, they have the best late-night eats, too. Score.

Here are a few awesome features of Pubwalk that we think you’re going to like:
• Choose your city and then filter bars by what you’re looking for. The list is pretty substantial, but it includes things like live music, biker bar, dance floor, piano bar, strip club and dive bar.
• It pulls information from CitySearch, so you can also sort the bars by how they have been rated by past customers.
• When you start clicking on bars and add them to your pub crawl list, it will begin to tally your total estimated walk distance, walk time and how long your entire pub crawl will take.
• Your pub crawl is given its own URL, so once you’ve finished, you can share it with friends so you’re all on the same page.

If any of our readers end up trying out Pubwalk, let us know how you like it! Also, we would LOVE if you would share the URLs for any pub crawls that you end up creating.
