Texas Arizona in Hoboken

Hey y'all, Stat Guy here. So on my way out to New Brunswick, to see Jimmy at his "day job," I stopped in Hoboken, at the Texas Arizona bar just off the train. They have the Southampton Double White. Perfect way to kill 20 minutes, right? Only odd thing, is none of the bartenders know why it's called Texas Arizona. Funny. I guess the owner loved both states and couldn't decide between them for the name of his bar. Now to see God of Carnage. Yay Theatre! :)

Fatty's... It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Hey, what's up G's!?  Stat Guy here... now I know that the Historian Guy kinda has the monopoly on places in Astoria around here, but I've also been kicking around there a bit these days.  So I wanted to share this place, Fatty's Cafe, with Happy Hour Nation, (just in case you didn't already know :)  

Up on Ditmars and Crescent, the last stop on the N, Q train if you're coming from Manhattan, the place is just a wonderful, laid back, neighborhood joint.  Perfect for locals to amble toward for really tasty food, dynamite Mojitos or Margaritas, play chess at the bar, or even just to browse some world-class artwork (as they treat their wall space as a kind of revolving gallery for local artists.)  Or as in my case today, it's also a sweet place to just drop in to see some friends and drink a few Dead Guy Ales (From the good people up at Rogue in Oregon!  Mmmm.)  Really tho, the place is cool.  They should call it PHATTy's!  They even have outside seating in the back garden for beautiful days like today... I've always had a blast here, so check it out if you're ever in the hood.  Now, it's off to Astoria Park for some FriZz-Bee!  Yea, life is Good!  Happy Holiday Weekend, folks.  Live it up!  Stat Guy OUT!
