"Union Pool is just around the corner from Kings County Imperial, and it’s the sort of place where you and your date will probably have a few drinks then get weirdly honest about your previous relationships. This place is lively and spacious, and it tends to get loud, busy, and filled with people who are secretly afraid of being alone and address this fear by taking shots of tequila and talking to strangers. In other words, it’s fun." - bryan kim
