- fuckin' hell it's been a while since we've gotten into this nonsense. Let's see if we still have the touch...we're all set up: 3 for $6 tall-boys of Bud Light, dance music blaring through the earbuds into my tinnitus (Jack U's "Where Are You Now" at the moment), and a brain full of shit-talkin' that's gots to gets out our head and onto the net.

It's a lot bigger than it's LES counterpart, so it doesn't seem to get ugly, itchy, dirty crowded, which is nice, yo. Lots of over-the-shoulder looking around, then rejoining the conversation to be had here. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></div>

Having done it a few times, it is actually kinda dope cuz you can surveill the spot and bounce if it looks like it's gonna be a bunch of interlopin' nerdlingers all night.

- 3 single-person WCs in the hallway between the main front space
and the back fun space. Much like the terrible Schillers, they have a
shared sink in the bathroom area. And yeah, it probably seems random
that we’d just reach out there like Mr. Fantastic to slap Schiller’s in
their triflin’ mouth for no apparent reason, but trust us, there’s a reason. Email us for details. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Takes credit cards?</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
- oh yes they did do it. Speaking of which, a friend of Visceralist’s
who is really a friend that exists and has a girlfriend on twitter and a
Nigerian trust fund and all those normal things that people have when
they’re real and you’ve had brunch with them and stuff. So, anyway, this
friend was wondering how one would go about checking their credit
report score cuz they never have before and apparently (according to
their real words that they spoke in person) they want to apply for a new
job and they heard that employers be checkin’ on that shit now.
Commenters, help us out?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Crowded on weekends? </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">-
so even tho this place has been around for over a year, it’s just recently
cropped up on Visceralist’s radar, which means that the cool kids are
finishing up with it, which means that the bolo hordes will be here ad

- so this spot is a restaurant during those useless, boring hours before
party time, so they have a bunch of tables and chairs in front. There’s a
random side room just past the bathrooms as well for private parties
and suchlike. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Neighborhood</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

- not at first blush, but we’ve already heard reports of people’s coats
getting jacked the fuck out the backroom. Granted, it’s foolish to just
toss your coat up against the wall and expect the honor system to have
its foot on the night’s neck, but if you’re still stealing coats in
Obama’s America, you are officially an asshole, yes. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cost of Stella</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

We had to update Adobe Reader on the Visceralist HQ Hal 2000 in order
to check out their menu, which was decidedly unworth it. That’s a
check-minus, Tandem. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Food?

- if a quick perusal of Tandem’s Yelp reviews are to be believed, the
brunch here is on point like calming, late-night hugs from momma.
Visceralist hasn’t woken up in time for brunch since we were getting
calming, late-night hugs from momma, so we can’t really offer up an
opinion on this one. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">TVs?

- it is kinda interesting how having even a single flat-screen in a bar
can change the vibe from easy, late-80s r&b cool into a
head-slapping, late-80s, Zach Morris Cuntachella. Anyway, this place
doesn’t have any. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Guy:girl ratio</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> - pretty even.

- as mentioned above, the bathroom has a communal sink which, if you’re charismatic enough,
could be turned into a funny, meet-cute splash party scene from like an early

- fuck, yo. So this is where Tandem really comes out to play. The
backroom dance party is what makes the considerable trip out to this
spot worthwhile. 2 Chainz’ “Birthday Song” has never sounded so ill.

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As aggravating as it is to everyone
involved, sometimes you're right to be preemptively defensive about
your personal tastes. Some unpopular things are fucking worth it. Limp
Bizkit isn't one of these things, but I'll be goddamned if they don't
make for a decent bloggy cudgel in this regard. And yeah, we all know,
dude throws the same "and I'm the only <i>one...</i>" cadence in every
song, but damn, this North-Florida bolo found a way to make millions off
that shit. And you mad. So here's why you're wrong, as evidenced by a
fantastic analysis of the video for their best song, "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTMVOzPPtiw" target="_blank">Nookie</a>." </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8528833908395809900" name="more"></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">0:00 - Ok, so yeah they only got signed to a major (Universal) on the strength of a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-EdCNjumvI" target="_blank">cover</a>
- which is trifling, but shit, YOLO, so get it how you get it. Anyway,
"Nookie" is a cheapy video by major label standards. The camera filter
probably cost more than all of the extras combined.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />0:31 - Durst "directed" this shit with his ego-maniacal ass, and it
shows. He is all in the video. He did do a solid job of synching his
diddy-boppin-through-the-streets scenes with the beat tho. </span><br />
<div id=":58k" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />0:33
- First shot of Wes Borland, who's also pop-lockin to the beat. So, ok,
I'll just come out and say it, Wes-dawg and his costumes and his
variable guitar tunings were the only thing giving this band any kind of
legitimacy. Apologies in advance for using this lazy trope, but he was
the Andre 3000 to Durst-dawg's Big Boi. But only sorta. Borland's solo
and side project stuff is an offense to both the bass and treble clef
and it's clear that Durst-dawg was an indefatigable fixer, sculpting
WB's indulgences into something one could happily diddy-bop to. And it
worked!</span><br />

- just one in the back around the corner. It’s spacious and secluded
enough to fuck your fuck on up in there, but some of the graf on the walls could prove to be a
little distracting (see above). So, we’re saying all that to say this:
make sure you get yourself molly’d up beforehand just in case. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Takes credit cards?</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
- nope! Not yet, anyway - this place is still that new shit, so they
only have one of those gougey ATMs for the time being. Helpfully, given
that this is an arcade, they do have one of those change machines for
quarters. Unhelpfully, as of this writing, it’s broken. Helpfully,
however, the register at the bar is prepared and replete. Unhelpfully, it won't matter how many quarters you have, Visceralist will still eat your breakfast, lunch, dinner and that ill-advised Hot Pocket you had 30 minutes before bed on any one of these games.

See, cuz Barcade’s like “Oh, arcade games made after 1989 are
sellouts...psh, don’t even...” Whereas, Two Bit’s all, “Yo, fuck all that.

- a few stools at the bar and a couple tables in the back. No stools in
front of the games tho which, while likely a practical necessity, is kind
of a drag. Some of us have sore lower backs from getting molly’d up and
fucking while standing up all week long.

There's 1 bathroom in the back, to the side of the bar. Then downstairs there are two separate lounge rooms which each have 1 small bathroom. Each one is single-person and the tricky part with the downstairs ones is that the doors blend in seamlessly with the wall. If you're having trouble finding them, just wait for a line to form.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Crowded on weekends? </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">- the following is a true story that happened in real life earlier this year: The Visceralist rolled up to the door of Affaire on a Saturday night. The Bouncer (who looked like he had probably used the phrase "'Nuff said" about 5 or 6 times that week), was all, "Gotta lose the hat. Can't let you in with that hat." Fair enough, so we turned to our friend and asked her if she could please put the offending hat in her purse for the night. She was all, "Of course." Problem solved, right? Of course. But then Bouncer was all, "Nah, no hats at all inside. Gotta get rid of it." To which we responded, "It'll just stay in her bag, man, it's all good." Bouncer: "No hats." V: "Really? So even though I could've put the hat in her bag in the cab before we got here, you won't let us in?" Bouncer (after cinching up his jean cargo shorts): "Yeah. I mean if you wanna come in now, you could throw it out in the trash can on the corner." Tell you what, how 'bout you throw out your unreasonable attitude, guy?!</span><br />

- 7 or 8 dinner tables upstairs and a few lounge-style sofas in both downstairs rooms. Most seats on the sofas were occupied by coats - including Visceralist's beloved <a href="http://www.spiewak.com/fashion/">Spiewak</a>, which typically causes us a healthy dose of undue anxiety. Fortunately though, the crowd kept their grubbies off, so no complaints there. </span><br />

Ah yes: If you're on Avenue A you're alright, Avenue B you're brave, Avenue C you're Crazy, Avenue D you're Dead. That hasn't really been applicable for a while, so Visceralist proposes a revision: If you're on Avenue A you're an NYU student, Avenue B you're boring cuz all the bars on this avenue are mediocre, Avenue C you'll get flooded once a year but it'll get blogged about, Avenue D you'll get flooded once a year but you're on your own for a couple weeks after. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Ever since Michael Corleone told his wife "Don't ever ask me
about my business, Kate." screenwriters have been trying to outdo each
other by trying to write <i>the</i> most gangsta cinematic line OF ALL
TIME. And, yeah, there have been a few viable contenders since then.
Phil Leotardo telling that woman who was an affiliate of Tony's on <i>The Sopranos</i>
"Next time, there won't be a next time." after he shot at her through a
phone book (but the bullet didn't go all the way through). Tony Montana
talking about his balls. Heath Ledger saying "Jack Twist, I swear..."
But, unfortunately, nothing has really blown minds all to heck recently
(right commentariat?). Luckily for y'all though, your boy Vissy has come
up with a few on spec. Feel free to disburse as y'all see fit.<br /><br /><b>Line</b>
: Your suspicions are right - that is my son. But I'm gonna let you raise him.<br /><b>Context</b>:
Some drama where some underling has cuckolded the boss - which the boss
only realizes at the end. Likely delivered as the underling is dying.
His last words!<br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Line</b>
: Most people would refer to this as a wine-bottle
corkscrew. Now, you...you're gonna find out why I call it...a
password-extractor. <br /><b>Context</b>: Delivered by some kind of Bond
villain to a tied-up Bond-type right before he leaves the room to
consult with a flunky on some important business. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8528833908395809900" name="more"></a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Line</b>
: You seem to feel like you just won the Superbowl. Nuh
uh. You just finished a Pop Warner game where they don't keep score.
Vicariously. Through your nephew. <br /><b>Context</b>: This would be
delivered as a metaphor. Presumably in some business drama where the
protagonist has pulled just a fantastic switcheroo on the antagonist. So
good. </span></span></div>

those rinky dink tables that never reminded people of authentic French

- with a decor like this, a name like that and a female bar-staff like
the proverbial, this has all the potential in the land to become the
ultimate “What’s your dad do, bitch?!” dbag circlefuck that we here at

- 3 single-person units just past the bar in the back. Their
fuckability isn’t great - and not because they’re not big enough, they
are.

- wtf is up with folks who, when you’re selling concert tix on
Craigslist, write to you a bunch of times asking you first if they’re
still available, then sending you like 3 more emails asking you to just
respond as to whether or not they’re gone. Fuck you, you entitled
republican. If you haven’t gotten a response, what the hell do you think
your answer is? And how does confirmation that they’re gone help you?

your fucking stupid books, you idiot?

Visceralist showed up on a recent Thursday for a going-away party (that
was supposed to start at 6:30pm) at 7:15pm and no one was there yet for
the party (embarrassing?), but there were 5 or 6 people hanging out at the bar.
When we doubled back around 8:30pm after killing some time by walking
around the corner, sitting on the curb and composing most of this post
on our iPhone, it was appreciably fuller. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Bartender efficiency</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
- you think the mgmt of bars in the LES/Wburg is like officially
requiring bar/wait staff to go full-hipster, attire-wise? Or is it just a
biased sample set? Not that we’re complaining, but what ever happened

- the backyard area is gravelly enough that you could prolly find a
nice skipping stone and use it over on the East River. If you can get 6
skips on video and email it to mgmt, you get a voucher for a free beer.

- apparently, “yun” in DMV slang is used similarly to how we Yawkers
use “yo.” “Yun” is derived from the other, more widely used slang term,
“young’n” which itself is probably a shortened version of “young one.” </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Space for dancing</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">? - dancing in gravel? </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Music medium, style & volume</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
- shit, this new Muse album is more of that classic Muse shit that we
know and love here at Visceralst HQ (the shameless trend-chasing stabs
at dubstep notwithstanding). “Survival” in particular is particularly
Musey.
