August 1, 2011

Two of my favorite blogs are EV Grieve and Jeremiah’s Vanishing New York. They’re two great blogs about New York and I’ve found many kindred spirits at both of them through their comments section and even met some of them in person. And tonight I’m meeting another. Crazy Eddie is always good for a laugh with his witty comments and I take his observations on New York City to heart, because he’s lived in the East Village for his entire life. He picked the spot to meet at and guess what? It’s a bar! And it’s called Percy’s, so it’s off we go.

And here we go down 14th street. Even though it's 7:45, it's still bright out, one of the few things I hate about summer, it gets dark too late.

Union Square Park is filled with people. Note the walking texter, God I hate that!

This sign always makes me think of Dr. Ruth's vagina.

And speaking of EV Grieve, whenever I see a vacant lot, I think of ET.

I keep meaning to come here some night to this coffee shop. It looks about as old school as you can get.

And here we are, Percy's Tavern. Let's check it out.

Since it's a Sunday, there's plenty of seats at the bar. This is why Sunday's are my favorite night to go out.

And Sarah, the lovely bartender on duty is quick with a beer.

A view of the bar from where I was sitting.

There's tables up in the front of the bar.

And a long communal table and stools line the wall near the window opposite the bar.

There's also outside tables to dine and drink at on the sidewalk.

A Guinness painting in the window.

An impressive list of the beers available at Percy's.

A long shot of the bar.

And here he is, the man of the hour, Crazy Eddie. I have to keep his real identity secret because, well, I can't tell or both my big toes would get broken and we don't want that to happen, now do we? But I did have a great time hanging out with Crazy Eddie, a kindred spirit and a life-long East Village resident.

There's Jameson on the walls...

Jameson on the bar...

And here the lovely Orla serves us up shots of Jameson.

Cheers...

And goodnight everybody and see you tomorrow after dark. Special thanks to Crazy Eddie for picking Percy's and hanging out with me. I hope to see you soon again!
