The Blanery Stone Crawl Part II

Stop 3: Blarney Stone on 8th Avenue

Number of people at start: 7

Nothing much happened here, expect Ms. D heard a sexual joke from an 80 year old women. This bar was a dive and I found new fondness in playing video arcade game again

Number of people at end : 9

One more comrades bid us adieu after this. But we did pick up one random guy and an 80 year old woman stalked us to the next bar

Stop 4: Blanery Stone Fashion/Garment District

Number of people at the Start: 8

This was by far the most upscale Blanery we encountered. What threw me off was the Latin Mambo Kings type music streaming violently through the speakers. But then I am not surprised.

9:20 PM: I watch in amazement as a fat man with absolutely no rhythm salsa all alone at the end of the bar. Bravo! Bravo!! I give me credit for movement

9:40 PM: Ms. D is going to be late for some B'Day party that I was not invited too.

Number of people at end : 7

Another person who joined us at the Stop 3 decides to leave. So much for him bar crawling. And we lost 2 more on the way. They are falling like flies.

Stop 5: Blarney Rock Restaurant at MSG

Number of people at start: 5

We enter this 2nd last stop at 10 PM. I quickly discover cupcake's evil twin behind me. On closer examination (read sobering up examination) I find the only resemblance is her blouse and haircut. I duly mumble something resembling an apology.

Ms. D finally decides to go the birthday party that I was not invited.

The bartender tells us about the closure of out next stop. So we have only one bar to go to. Woo hoo!!!

Number of people at the end: 4

Here is where decide to cab it to the East Side. At the last minute Mountain Bunny decides to join us and skip the drama of him needing beauty sleep or something like that.

Stop 6: Blarney Cove



Number of people at the start: 4

This was not a cove, it was a cave. Calling this dive is being polite to this establishment. Add a lounge and this becomes the famous narrow Katra Lounge that I hate.

11:03 PM: Cupcake discovers Funyuns. We attack it with gusto. And yes we all decided to share 2 drinks, though JP decided she is still going to have some hard stuff.

11:04 PM: Mountain Bunny drops phone behind the bar. Start of his clumsiness streak.
11:10 PM: Cupcake discovers lingerie in the bar and decides this is best time to put it on. And I immediately pull out my camera.
11:12 PM: I wonder why they are showing the Mets games on TV.
11:20 PM: Cupcake and I decide that is time to karaoke. We do a sing along to Barry Manilow

Number of people at the end: 4

So 4 of us got starts for going to all Blarney Bars. We're know exhausted and hungry. JP decides that Odessa Polish Diner would be a perfect way. Of at 11:40 we reach Odessa Bar and Diner. Perfect more drinking. The bar was crowded so we decided to skip drinking and head to the diner.

11:42 PM: Girls outside the diner (they were drunk or they wouldn't come up and talk to me) yell at me, "Come to the bar, it is more fun". I reply back "We need to eat and there is no place to sit down there". Girls, "Kill someone" to which I reply back, "With my skin color I do not think that would be a good idea."
11:45 PM: Cupcake orders every dish in the menu.
11:47 PM: Mountain Bunny tells us that he going to blog my blog about the Pub crawl. JP gives him a blank stare
12:01 AM: The best conversation so far
Mountain Bunny "Sorority girls do not date me even when all drunk.
JP "Maybe you should re-evaluate your opinion on Sorority girls.I was in a Sorority and so is Cupcake."
Uber "I am from India so I could care less. And even non sorority girls refuse to date me"
Mountain Bunny "I was just generalizing. It is like everything thinks I am a mobster because I am Indian"
JP "You wish we though you were a mobster"

Game, set and match JP.

Oops, I forgot add Mountain Bunny spilled coffee on the table and pierogies on his pants. He was so out of form that day.
