McLean's Avenue in Yonkers has a lot of Pubs too!

or some places up in Alaska where there nothing to do but drink?

That's so true. I've been lucky enough to spend time in both those cities. I stayed at Zero Duval St on December 31, 1998. I remember sitting at the hotel bar outside when it turned midnight and "party like its 1999" by Prince was played. Unfortunately my father made plane reservations back to New England for Jan 1. We had a 6:00 am flight outta Miami. Ugh, that drive to the airport sucked that morning.

So were the bars where the Parade ended, on 86th street in the Yorkville section. Just about every Pub and Bar was loaded wih cops and firemen drunk as skunks, getting into fights and harassing people. It's a disgrace! Hey, I have been told and I think I am, a Happy drinker and when I get drunk I laugh and think that I am a lover with the Ladies. I certainly do not want to get into fights or go around acting like an obnoxious jerk-off. If you are a mean drunk and all you want to do is fight, you shouldn't be drinking Period!

Is Modelo made in Mexico?

Gotcha. So it's not an import, it's a domestic brew.

Is Modelo made in Mexico?

I'm not familiar with the area but if I assume that 161st street is heavily populated with Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, would that be a safe assumption?

yeah, by the same guys that make corona, grupo modelo. both are terrible trash beers that the tv has convinced people are good. they also seem to have a knack for making stupid people feel like they are getting a real dose of latin flavor in their lives, when in reality they are both cheap american macro style adjunct lagers.

I'm surprised about the Puerto Ricans drinking beer. I grew up in a city that was at least a third populated by Puerto Ricans and I don't remember them being big drinkers. In high school we used to pool our money together and have one of our Puerto Rican friends dad go to the package store and get 22oz and 40oz bottles of malt liquor. We'd always give him a "double deuce" of Colt 45 or Olde English and he'd be so grateful. I don't think many will disagree about the Russians consumption habits.

Hence my joke about 161st Street .

You drink too many 40's as a youngster and have a bad experience?
