Punk

On our last night in NYC we went to a pub crawl. This was with the hostel we stayed at. The idea is simple: get a people together from different countries and go to each of the local bars and drink what ever their cheapest drink is. For example at one bar decorated in things like a Dr Doom mask and a Captin America shield you find Pabst Blue Ribon for just $1.50 which in NYC is a bargin. new_york.pabst.1789.jpg
When I say "different countries" that doesn't quite tell the whole story. Take these two for example. They are Iranian-German. Always a good combination. The blond one had a few too many but when I got the chance to interrogate them they had an answer for every question. Most of the questions were geared toward finding out his views as a) an Iranian (an anti-Iraq country) b) a German (anti-Iraq war country) and how they played into his views on what had been going on in Iraq.

His view: it is the best thing that could have happened. His view reflects that of a lot of former Iraq and Iran citizens I have interviewed. Lots of short term pain, lots of long term gain.

What is a bar without Pac-Man? new_york.pac-man.1802.jpg Here is a famous place. From what I was able to gather this was like Arnold's from Happy Days but for "a show about nothing". new_york.sinfeld.1806.jpg
Here are some pics from a bar on the Upper-West side. Too many of the pics I took of it didn't work because I didn't want to upset everyone with a flash but if you are a fan of Punk / Goth culture you must find were this is and go.
