by Lenard Plyler on Yoshi's has done us well this year! I've probably been to about 10 or more shows since last January and loved each and every one. We mostly go for salsa shows and it's really opened up my eyes and ears to the Latin Jazz scene. I haven't tried their food, but I can say that they have some very unique cocktails, which we occasionally indulge in. It's definitely intimate, as many have already said. Our favorite place to watch a show is the upstairs level and often times our group is able to score a big portion of it all to ourselves. Discount tickets are available for many of the shows on Goldstar, which allows us to do YoshI's on a budget!
by Sam P. on Half-price until 8 pm everyday?? Did we accidentally leave New York City? What a treat after paying $7 PER Sam Adams Octoberfest pint to pay like $9 for an entire pitcher! We actually left after one pitcher, went to the Museum of Natural History, then went back for another two pitchers. The draft selection wasn't extensive, but serviceable. They had Sam Adams Lager, Octoberfest, an IPA, Honkers Ale, then the usuals like Bud Light. Added bonus: Beer Pong and the Big Buck Safari game. Foosball quarter tray was a little faulty, but they came and got the game to work although we were left with a tied score and one ball shy to determine the victor. We ordered a hot dog and fries which are in fact delivered from the Gin Mill down the street. We didn't have high expectations, but the hot dog wasn't good. It was like a day old gas station dog. The fries however were tasty and i would recommend getting fries . A nice little outdoor seating area, great for people watching. We enjoyed inventing and playing our own people watching drinking game for people that walk by. Feel free to give it a try or invent your own. *Not responsible for your actions* 1 drink: smoker, someone wearing anything that says New York or a Yankees hat , every time the food runner comes back with an order 2 drinks: baby stroller, rolling suitcase 3 drinks: someone carrying flowers, 5 drinks: baby stroller being pushed by a dude on his own, couple where girl is taller than the guy 10 drinks: animal dressed in any kind of clothing
by Ward Mcfarlan on "I'm on a boat!" if you, too, want to eat burgers and drink coronas out of steel pails full of ice, all while sitting on a boat, then you should go to the Frying Pan. Does it smell like spilled cheap beer? Do people get really drunk here? Do people (probably) get drunk and seasick and puke over the railing? Yes, yes, and yes. But are you on a boat (yet still in NYC)? Absolutely.
