Review of Gleason's on Broadway

Went last night.

This place was awful.

First, they did not have three of the beers on their menu and the waiter didn't know until he checked at the bar each and every time. Then, with the Fish & Chips entree, they did not serve the chips until we had a lengthy conversation with one of the servers about the fried fish being the "fish" and the french fries being the "chips". The food was also severely sup-par. I didn't expect fabulous food, but the fish was clearly frozen. In some places, th… Continue

Got Dice? Game Nights

After a few thrilling rounds of backgammon at the Beer Garden last night, Josh and I got to talking and we've decided that a monthly game night is probably the way to go.

So we made our way up to Broadway to have a pint at Gilbey's before crossing the tracks to his up McCaffery & Burke's on 31st. A kind fellow patron passed a littl… Continue

Writers, where are you?

I fancy myself a bit of a writer, but I haven't had much connection with other writers since leaving college. I was wondering if anyone else out there wanted to get together to either go to readings and the like or to start a workshop. I think it would be great if we could get a monthly meeting organized to swap stories, poems or anything else for critique.

I love to write short stories and poetry but I'm working on a novel in whatever spare time I can manage to find and it would be really help… Continue
