Drinking? Yes. Tonight? YES!
Yes we here at Metroblogging NYC (or MBNYC for all those acronym lovers out there) are crazy. Sometimes, we are so crazy that we throw together a drinking excursion at the very last minute. As it turns out Kathleen from LA is in town this week so some of us are getting together to meet her. Also, it’s Fat Tuesday, a day in which (as I understand it) people are absolutely required to get drunk. It’s either that or we need to eat pancakes. I always get that part confused.
So here’s the plan:
Tonight 2/28 @ 7:00
Blue Owl
196 2nd Ave @ 12th Street
Blue Owl is a new place we’ve heard about and have been trying to check out. It’s a speak-easy style cocktail bar with snacks, so really, what’s not to like?
Hope to see you there!

[from the IHOP Website:
FREE PANCAKES! NO STRINGS ATTACHED!
On February 28, 2006 from 7 AM to 2 PM IHOPs across the country will celebrate National Pancake Day (also known as Shrove Tuesday) by offering our guests a free short stack of pancakes*. This is going to be our biggest one day celebration in our history.
National Pancake Day has a rich history that stretches back centuries and has always been a time of celebration. National Pancake Day always falls on Fat Tuesday and this year it will be a celebration at IHOP.
So gather your friends, family and neighbors and come to your local IHOP and enjoy a short stack of pancakes on us. All we ask is that you consider making a donation to a great charity like First Book or other local, worthy cause. Where else would you celebrate National Pancake Day than IHOP? See you there.
* Limit one free short stack per guest. Valid for dine-in only, no to go orders. Not valid with any other offer, special, coupon, or discount. Valid at participating restaurants only, while supplies last.
