When in Brooklyn...

...do as Dan Humphrey does?

Idk, but on Tuesday I actually decided to take a friend up on a outing across the river to watch a bocce ball game at a bar in the BK. So...sports? Well, I WAS a cheerleader for 8 years, so I can totally pull off clapping for my friends and pretending I know what's going on. By the end of the night I have not only totally rocked the jukebox with what I considered "Brooklyn appropriate" songs (Cake, "Sheep Go to Heaven"? Hells yes!), but I also successfully figured out how this bocce ball thing works! Not bad for a Tuesday night. I was just a lil proud of myself for expanding my horizons in sports as well as actually getting my lazy ass out of Manhattan.

Not only can you watch friends embarrass themselves at bocce ball (Floyd actually runs a league...fun times!), but you can get drunk on a budget while doing it at Floyd NY. I found myself enjoying many, many $2 cans of Schlitz beer and playing a real working jukebox, two things that do not oft happen in Manhattan. This quaint bar offers just the right amount of dive-ness while still providing a homey atmosphere for those of us who didn't pledge Kappa Kappa Sigma. Relax on the comfy couches perfectly arranged for small group conversations, or cheer raucously for friends playing bocce or building beer-myds. It seems that anything goes at Floyd.
