What’s This All About?

And So It Begins. A 13 Week Bender.

13 in 13, 2010

This seems to be a time of make-it-or-break-it for most of the people we know. Jobs have been gained or lost; relationships have been solidified or dissolved (though in our cases, just dissolved); school has ended or begun. The slump that usually characterizes the months between the holidays and the first break of spring seems more like a respite this year: we will be able to stay the incessant making of decisions, succumb to inertia, and live life quietly.

Quietly, but not silently.

Time Out New York recently published a list of what they have deemed the 13 best bars in New York City. Cultivating the dream of opening such an establishment ourselves one day, we’ve decided it will be in our collective best interests to see what sets these watering holes apart from the countless others that surround and divide them.  (http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/restaurants-bars/72377/the-best-bars-in-nyc)

Whence the birth of our project, and this blog: 13 in 13 2010. We have decided to patronize one of the list members each week for thirteen weeks and record our experiences. Our journey will be an exercise in cultural anthropological research, geographical exploration, and beverage consumption. And who knows: maybe one of us will even manage to get laid along the way.

Cheers,

Rachel, Rachel, and Hall
