Welcome To My Depravity

So I had this idea for a while now, and then last night I was discussing bars with a couple of friends and they spurned me in to action. Hear is the story, I frequent dive bars and other assorted watering holes with "character" pretty regularly. There are several reasons behind this. First off, I like the atmosphere, there is just something entertaining about going to a place where you may leave with a black eye or a staph infection, but also plastered. More importantly, the reason I frequent places like these is due to the fact that I live in New York City on a meager social service paycheck, which, if you don't know, is as close to a paycheck mocking you as you can get. So, with bills and rent my drinking is reduced to three main factors with occasional exceptions. These are as follows, A.) Drinking various cheap domestic beers and malt liquors in the comfort of my home, B.) Going to regular bars that my friends happen to be tending bar at and getting a "discount"and C.) the vaunted institution that is the dive bar. So, what is the purpose of this blog? The purpose is two-fold. First off, I would like to share my knowledge of dive bars and let you know where you can get your drunk on for cheap and also what various creature comforts these places offer. Secondly, I am assuming I am not the only one who frequents these places, and if you, my readership (which I assume right now is at 0) have a place to suggest or a review you would like to share, please feel free.

Thanks and cheers, stay tuned.

PS: This is not going to be like NYCDRUNKGUY, mostly because I am not a self-important douche who feels the need to brag about what a drunk I am and my (probably fabricated) conquests.
