My friend Corrie likes beer. My friend Corrie likes good beer. My friend Corrie can drink beer. I really like my friend Corrie.
Unfortunately i don't get to hang out with my friend Corrie that often, but when it happens it is usually at a place I like. Tonight she picks Vol de Nuit, which is one of my favorite places in the city. Awesome, awesome way to spend a Thursday night!
The place is pretty packed, a bit more than I would have expected/liked for a Thursday night. It's ok, since we manage to score two seats at the communal table at the back, right in front of the bar.
Palm on draft is a nice, recent addition to Vol de Nuit's beer menu. Unfortunately they were out of it tonight. Ok, I haven't had Leffe Blond in a while, that will do. For the second round I feel like a Corsendonk[1]. Unfortunately they're out of this one too. I get a Leffe Brown instead. you could do a lot worse than a Leffe Blond and a Leffe Brown. Still, being out of two out of two of the beers that I wanted to order, that is not going to impress me.
On the way out there's a group of people by the door, one guy is blocking the door with his chair. "Excuse me..." "EXCUSE MEEEE...." Finally the guy notices Corrie, apologizes and moves over. "I am sorry, my friend is a bit of an asshole" says one of the guys in the group, jokingly. "I know", I reply jokingly. "Fuck you guys", says the "asshole" friend.
I love New York.

[1] I can't help but notice that in their online menu this is listed as CorsenDORK. As a scientis, you gotta love a beer with "dork" in its name...
