Friday night on the LES

Hey everyone,


So, I love weekends in NYC. More than anything, I love traveling downtown from my flouty upper east side bubble to the lower east side which has an impressive and eclectic array of hangouts; anywhere from unique speakeasys, dive bars, posh lounge bars, southern bars, preppy bars and everything in between, the lower east side can fill all your social desires. However, last night was particularly fun as I headed downtown with a bunch of friends to Mason Dixon's, a bar clearly named after the traditional border that separated the confederate states during the Civil War. I loved this place-great hoe dowm hits played all night long such as "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy," and my all time favorite "Save a horse, Rise a Cowboy." The bull riding was especially fun, as you could watch brave patrons ride and fall all night. And of course, as you continue to consume alcohol, your desire to ride that bull increases with your booze intake. But the best part of it all were the boys-it's a preppy place, with a more real southern twist, and a mini hipster crowd and bar crew that gives the place some variance. Good place to go with some girlfriends, especially when you're in the mood to dance and get on that bull! Until next time, always, -The Know it all New Yorker-
