There’s never a shortage of things to do in New York City, but sometimes there’s a shortage of things catering to broke 18-year-old college kids. Unless you have a fake ID, you can’t step foot into a bar. We’ve found a few bars, however, that let you in when you’re 18—but they get tiring after a while and the clientele is usually a bit sketch.
If getting sweaty and dancing with other sweaty people is what makes you happy, you can pay a $15 cover charge to get into a club like Deco or Duvet. But that’s not what makes me happy. I usually like to stay away from greasy dudes and girls with way too much bronzer on, and just roll with a few close friends who I know will pick me up if I ever fall.
Our (my floor mates’ and my) new-semester resolution is to get out more, so we felt this past weekend was a good place to start. This decision came after being written-up (again) for drinking in the dorms. We searched and found a place we had heard about called Soho Sushi, located in the West Village, that doesn’t card and offers SAKE BOMBS .
This was my first time doing a Sake Bomb, so for everyone else who hasn’t: basically, you get big containers of Sake (I don’t know exactly what it is, but it tastes like warm wine) and shot glasses and pints of beer and chopsticks. You build a bridge with the chopsticks so you can put your shot of sake over your beer. Then you bang on the table screaming “Sake! Sake! Sake!” until your sake shot falls into your beer. Then you chug it.
It’s a crazy invention and an even crazier environment. The prices are a bit steep, but for $17 dollars I got to do four or five bombs while hearing people scream or seeing them chug beer. It’s not something we can do every weekend, but it’s a start in our commitment to exploring the city.
