The WORLD'S PRETTIEST BARISTA ...STUMPTOWN COFFEE and SHOPPING .99 CENT STORES

The WORLD'S PRETTIEST BARISTA .... Stumptown Coffee.. New York, New York

NEW YORK CITY Jan. 16, 2012

Yes, went to the new STEAK'n SHAKE up on Broadway yesterday. Something to do along with my usual Sunday Morning Coffee at Once Upon a Tarte, it was a Double Cheeseburger with Fires and a Coke for lunch. Yes, at Steak'n Shake. The down to the Ace Hotel for some Stumptown Coffee, lounge chillin. reading, mostly writing, sippin my Stumptown Coffee, a bit of Web Surfing, relaxing, just enjoying my day off. Cold but good. The day off. Pick up a few items at Jack's .99 Cent Store on 32nd Street, another usual Sunday afternoon occurrence. For me, that is. After my Sunday morning Coffee at The Tarte, it's off to lunch, then possibly a trip up to the Ace to hang in the lounge wit ma Coffee, my Laptop, iPod Touch, and my Razor, Cel-Phone that is. I usually couple the Sunday afternoon trip to The Ace Hotel with a trip to Jacks's, this .99 Cent Store is just three blocks from the Ace, so I do my thing there and when done, head over to to Jack's to see what they've got. I'll pick up, maybe; a Loaf of Bread, some Cheese if they have some real stuff (not fake cheese product), get some Ramen, Glass Cleaner, hand soap, Little Debbie's Nutty Bars, Pretzels, and what-not. All depends what they've got on hand. It's forever changing. I pick up as many things as I can and I usually save two to three times as much money as I spent. That is, if I spend $15, then those items probably would have cost me about $50 elsewhere so I just saved $35. Multiply this by 52 weeks and I save about $2,000 a year by buying things at .99 Cent Stores instead of foolishly throwing my hard earned money away for overpriced items elsewhere. Pretty good, huh?
So, I had my coffee and a nice little time at the Ace Hotel, ran over to Jack's and saved myself 35 Bucks, I hop on the F Train right there at 32nd Street and ride it down to West 4th, three blocks from my house. Not bad! Just Killed Two Birds with 1 Stone. Awesome!

PS ... "I Saw The WORLD'S PRETTIEST BARISTA at Stumptown Coffee. She made me my Coffee. Check her out below. Do you Agree?

NEW YORK and The $3.00 PBR

New York and the $3.00 PBR, Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer has been a God-Send to many New Yorkers. As you all know, the US Economy has been in the Shitter for the past 3-Half years or so.

Many people are out of work, and many who are working, are taking home Half-as-Much Money or more of what they used to make. People have had to buckle down and give up or curb many things they enjoyed previous to the current state of our economy, which is in almost a Depression Era State.

Yes, everybody says that we are not in a Depression, we're in a recession. Those are the Rich and Well-Off talking. To many, the state of our Union and their feelings are of Depression.

So, because of the Terrible State of our Economy you have given up eating out 3 times a week, you buy less clothes, spend less on Entertainment and any number of things and you haven't had a vacation in the past two years, maybe more. You given up a lot. We all have.

Now when it comes to socializing, going out for a few Beers or Cocktails with some friends, you've had to cut back on that too. But hey, you gotta draw a line somewhere, and everyone is entitled to a few drinks to unwind every now and then. But if you live in the Great City of New York this can be a costly undertaking, especially in this day, and of all times, to be having a Boom in The $14, Sixteen-Dollar-Or -More-Cocktail.W hat is a Poor Working Guy or Working Girl to do??? Well Boys and Girls, let's Thank God for that great thing of wonder and the Bars and establishments who so graciously and kindly serve it, The $3.00 PBR, That's right, a $3.oo Beer in The Land of The Over-Priced $16.00 Cocktail, Manhattan, New York, NY..... It's quite Sad, Greedy too.

Yes, Thank God and let's thank the Kind-Heart proprietors who serve $3.00 PBR'S or any Beer for just $3 or $4 in a New York Bar. You are doing you fellow man a public service and we thank you for that. Whoever you are, you are to be commended, and Shame-On-You, all those places that serve $14 PLUS Cocktails. "RIP-OFF" !!! Wish the masses would Boycott these places and patronize places like Blue & Gold Bar, 7B, and anyplace who has a heart. Bars that serve 3 and 4 Dollar Beers.

I just have to say, it's great to go to a place like Blue and Gold Bar on East 7th Street and know that you can have 3 or 4 Beers for just $12 to $16, accounting for a Buck a Pop for the Barkeep. Now that's pretty good. I have had the best times hanging at Blue & Gold with some friends. You sit at the Bar or get into a nice comfy booth, drink your Beers ($3 PBR'S), relax, listen to the Music, Chit Chat, and just enjoy, and it's not going to cost you The Shirt Off Your Back.

Yes, you can have 4 Beers, tip included for the price of 1 Rip-Off Drink at one of those Rip-Off Joints. And if you are Dumb enough to have four drinks in one of those places, guess what it's going to cost you? About $75 my friend.

Well, do the Math, and if you can afford $75 for only 4 drinks, God Bless You. And if you can't, you've got an alternative. Right, your local $3.00 PBR Joint. They're a God-Send.
