Speakeasy's

Tonight we refused to let the rain keep us from having fun on one of our only nights together all week and hit the town for some beverages. In the East Village neighborhood there are a few pretty hidden clubs/bars that were once secret speakeasy's and have been getting alot of publicity lately. Because it's the middle of the week, we were surprised that both PDT (Please Don't Tell) and Death and Co. had waits of around an hour. I guess everyone had the same idea we did. It was fun just trying to find PDT which involved entering a phone booth in a random hot dog shop and calling the host who opened the other side of the booth to let you in. There were no signs for this place anywhere. We settled for drinks at a "normal" place next door called Ten Degrees. After telling the bartender what I typically like, he whipped up a custom cocktail for me which turned out delicious. Jen's "fruit loaded" Sangria came with an orange slice which was disappointing, the fruit's the best part! It was a good time though. This pic is of Jen providing the entertainment as we waited for the 7 train on the way out.
