Hey Mr McGlass-heads, Jeff here! I found myself down on Chambers, here in NYC, early yesterday evening, and I had about 30 minutes to kill. It was a perfect opportunity to check out Mudville 9, a place I'd heard about for years. It has a fun, rustic setting going on, almost rural. My kinda place. You'd never know you were in the financial district, if it wasn't for all the suits! But you can tell it's a hot spot down there because it was packed!

They said they had the Gubna, but had just tapped out. (Oh Why does that keep happening?? :) so I went with Brother Thelonious (in the great stride piano tradition) from North Coast; Missing California I guess. It was my first time having it, and wow was it great! A wonderful sipping beer! So good, it had me hummin some April in Paris...

Anyway, I didn't have time to check out their food, but a sign said they won Best Wings in New York in 2007. And you know as well as I that THAT was a good year for Wings! :)

So, if you're ever in this hood, it's definitely worth a stop by, to Raise a glass to Happy Hour Nation. That's what I'm talkin about.
Hope all's good.
Stat Guy Out!
