TUESDAY NIGHT DEBAUCHERY (NYC)

1st stop: POP BURGER 58-60 9th Ave (near 15th St.)

This hip and trendy burger joint is also a bar/club/lounge. Thank god for hookups— we walked in and were seated at a table with plush red-velvet couches. Everything was free: burgers, fries, beer, juice, and an entire bottle of vodka. The economics of it is this: there’s always a hand… Continue

Spend your Friday night saving something important to us all. The Pink Party.

Why spend your Friday night getting drunk, making a fool out of yourself, and hurting the next morning for nothing when you can be saving the tatas?
