Friday night I met up with my friend Jerry and headed to dinner at 5 Ninth's in the Meatpacking District. I am not even going to review it. The outdoor garden eating area was cute but the food was atrocious. Needless to say within 2 hours of leaving the restaurant, both of us vomited. I had to leave the bar I was then at to do so, lol. NOT glamorous! It wasn't pretty, but anyways after dinner and before the vomiting, I met up with two more friends and headed to Phoenix in the East Village, which is a bar right next to Boysroom actually. Boysroom is supposedly fun and is packed with "ready to go" boys but it is wayyyyy too dragqueen for me and I could just tell that from standing outside, haha. The photo above is from inside and thanks to the Village Voice
. So anyways, we are hanging out at Phoenix while my new friend Jose is obsessing with the pool table and beating the
others trying to play, and then went to Starbar (the new Starlight), and then ultimately we strolled further down the 2nd Ave (having pizza and being asked if we needed "party supplies by a street drug dealer" to what we could call The Cock. It has supposedly moved into a new space and it was my first time and I have to say it was dirty weird. The room that is about the size of my Manhattan apt is incredibly dark which is totally hot to me especially if it is filled with sleazy dirty punk boys but it turns out that the reality of the bar is that it is sorta filled with the "last of the last" lol, if that makes sense. Oh well, at 4:30 I headed home to my nice warm bed and my AConditioned room, alone.
I was wondering what'll happen to Starlight?! Thanks for the 411! And as for the Cock? HAHAHA! I was happy when they closed that dump, but I guess you can't keep a good cock down huh?

ugh, the cock... went there a few years ago with a friend and the place freaked me the hell out.. sketchy, dirty, nasty place full of sketchy, dirty, nasty guys... seemed to be the place to go when they shut down all bars (and maybe the local bus termianl) for the night... I think they had meth spritzers at the bar... hated it...
