"Intuitively, you might think that drinking and axe throwing go about as well together as staring at an eclipse then trying to pilot a fighter jet. But at Kick Axe Throwing, there are a bunch of staff members on hand to make sure everyone stays safe. This place is in a big warehouse-like space in Gowanus, and it’s filled with stalls where you get to throw little axes at wooden targets. For $35, you get 70 minutes of throwing, and you can drink while you do it. Essentially, it’s a bar with one very entertaining activity (like darts times 100), and the skills you pick up here might even help you survive when a giant solar flare takes out your power grid." - bryan kim
