Mah b-day...and this little thing they called "the election"

So I’m not gonna lie, I was just a tad pissed that my b-day fell on the same day as one of the biggest elections our country has ever seen. After feeling neglected for most of the day on Tuesday, what’s a girl left to do but suck it up, try to have a good time watching the results, and get driz-unk?

Now, I do my patriotic duty and rock the vote, but I’m not a highly political person. However, I found myself becoming very involved in the excitement. It’s not every day that I get to scream out cab windows, celebrate with total strangers, and actually feel like people in New York City are getting along.

And I kinda loved the fact that on my bday, a friend of mine proposed an election watching party at one of my fav bars:

Fat Black Pussycat
West Village
130 West 3rd Street (b/w 6th Avenue and Macdougal Street)
New York, NY 10012
212-533-4790

In quirky West Village style, the Fat Black Pussycat manages to combine the best of every world. One room wood-clad local watering hole, one room sexy Moroccan lounge, and even a dance club downstairs at Village Underground. There’s never a dull moment at the Fat Black Pussycat between the cheeky name, old time photographs and videos, and unisex bathroom downstairs (ow-ow!). You must try one of their 30 delish and destructive specialty martinis at the very cheap price of $9. I recommend the Apple Pie Martini (just make sure the bartender knows you don’t want the run of the mill appletini…much confusion will ensue). If you have a moderately sized group of 15 or so, reserve the loft area in the Moroccan room and you’ll be in for a relaxed sexy time…or just a night where you can feel like a VIP with your friends without dropping a grand on bottle service. Whatever vibe you’re looking for, this place is certainly the cat’s meow.
