Cold Times, Hot Times – Only in New York

After dinner and some drinks at their house, we all went to Sunday’s best Brooklyn bargain: Hank’s Saloon, which featured cheap drinks, great honky-tonk music from Sean Kershaw & the New Jack Ramblers, and good people. I had five layers of clothes on and after two minutes inside Hank’s I was already sweating, but I am not complaining. Even though it was well below freezing outside and snow was beginning to fall, Hank’s kept up their Sunday tradition of barbecuing burgers and sausages outside for all the “Saloonatics” inside. (Thanks Jesse for coining that term.) Since there was work the next day, Damian and I went home early. And even through the snow was falling and the wind coming off the East River made our cheeks freeze, it didn't feel as cold as Friday night’s fiasco. Maybe being surrounded by good people really does warm your heart and your soul.
