The Blanery Stone Crawl Part I

As a little boy or girl we all harbor secret fantasies

a. Get bitten by a spider and develop cool powers.
b. Be the most famous sports person in the history.
c. Buy a cape and tailor dummy.
d. Visit ever Blarney Stone Bar in the island of Manhattan.

OK point c and point d we not some of the usual dreams you may have encountered. But a friend of mine "JP" had this dream of visiting every Blanery Stone Bar in the city.

This is what happened

Stop 1: Blarney Stone Restaurant (near Ground Zero)

Number of people at the start: 8

6:02 PM JP and Cupcake come in late. OK we cannot start the damn bar crawl late. Apparently JP was too sexy and needed a change of wardrobe. Uber was made at the change of wardrobe.
6:05 PM Cupcake spills beer on Uber. Apparently it is Uber fault since he moves silently.
6:14 PM We all got little stars for being there
6:30 PM Ms.D Decides to talk about some puke story to entertain us
6:35 PM I was smooth talking a fellow bar drinker in order to get a free t-shirt. After 5 minutes he informs me that he is not the owner.
7:00 PM We leave. I wonder if we are going to be in every bar for 1 hour. Then I remember I have a birthday party the next day. Panic sets in. Where is my brown bag.

Number of people at the end: 8

Stop 2: Blarney Stone Restaurant (Fulton Street)

To the next restaurant was a long walk. I made a mental note to switch to hard liquor to get a better buzz to endure all this walking.

Number of people at the start: 8

7:12 PM We walked passed what looked like a deli counter into the bar. If Shaft went to an Irish Bar this would be the place.
7:15 PM Cupcake runs into the ladies room.
7:16 PM JP runs to the ladies room. Apparently it is an epidemic.
7:20 PM I get my Vodka and Tonic. Sweet intoxication.
7:21 PM We all eye the bad buffet and make a bee line towards it.
7:25 PM The bartender stops by our table and I am waiting to hear the words "This food is not for you". But he assures us that the food is free. I wonder if people would pay for this, but on then I see people pay for the bad airline food.
7:26 PM Ms.D is pleased that the toilet paper in the women's stall doesn't crumble. Apparently the toilet paper in South America crumbles.
7:30 PM Ms.D challenges her coworker to moonwalk. He refuses, first he is white and that bet is not fair. She refused to challenge me since she knows that I might do it.
7:40 PM Finish my one drink in record time. And yes JP picks up this balloon animal of the street and we have it accompany us like a mascot.

Number of people at the start: 7

The girls go round the corner and disappear into CVS. Thank god we decided to take the train to the next stop. As we all swipe our way through the turnstiles we hear a scream. I thought for certain one of the girls just fainted. Instead I see Mountain Bunny (He wants to be called Mountain Cat)on top of the turnstile pointing his hand at this ferocious creature called the rat. That scream would have made any girl proud. He claimed that the rat was the size of an elephant. But since I did not see the rat I can neither conform nor deny on the size or if there was a rat.

Too..be continued
