10.28.22 – My Drink was on Fire

Happy Hour. Nothing more I could have asked for to end a helluva week. The place we went to was called Navy Strenght. Yes, the first time I heard it I thought it was gym. I mean look at the name?! Anyway, it was a tiki bar. I did not see any female servers there. But there were female bartenders. The servers were wearing tight shorts and button-downs. A lot of people were in costumes, I mean Halloween weekend so no surprise. And yes, to say that I was distracted just because I want to see all the costumes was a huge understatement.

I only had one drink. It was called hot needles. It has scotch, gin, wine, and some other things. And they light it up when they serve it. It was pretty cool. And pretty strong. Hence just having one drink. I originally planned on having two drinks but after the first drink hit me pretty nicely, I decided to not have a second drink. I wanted to unwind, not be irresponsible. It would be a different story if I live downtown and I could just walk to my apartment. But no. I still had fun. Ordered some nachos, a musubi steamed bun, and a chicken steamed bun. They were so good. Food prices were pretty good. The drinks were a little bit on the pricier side but after that one drink, I understand why. 

So Navy Strength had their Nightmare on Wall Street event. This started from October 1 and will end tonight, October 31. They served some scary movie themed cocktails. I ordered Hot Needles (on the left) which was inspired by the movie The Thing, 1982. It has scotch, aquavit, branca menta, lemon, cardamom, and smoked tea. Two of my coworkers ordered SS Georgie based on It, 1990. And another one ordered The Candyman based on the movie The Candyman, 1992.

I really had nothing else to share. Work was busy as fuck. And really have nothing else to share considering that I was swamped with work.
