I am new to NYC, single and 28 years old. Are there any bars where a lot of other runners hang out to get their goose on? If not there should be one. I know about Coogans at 168th street due that is a little off the beaten path unless you are stopping by after being atthe Armory. Any other suggestions?
Coogan's has another bar on at 93rd and 3rd ave called Parrot Bay. I believe the sign outside says; runners, wild life, and surfers welcomed.
The question is do runners really hang out there? I have been by that bar on 93th and it doesn't seem that great.
Rosie's is always full of runners around the marathon.
Dude what about the other 364 days a year? I am not talking about one night a year.
Dude, depends on your hood and where you work. For starters, Coogans has changed management and is now owned by Steve Buscemi (not literally). In the Upper East, Kinsale is a great irish pub, finest on in the area. For cheap ass swill and a fair share of drunken runners, try the Big Easy on 92&2, likewise, Blondies next door for a great sandwich (get the meltdown). On 91 between 1&2, try Biddy's, small pub with a nice feel and many neighborhood alkies.
Downtown, bars a'plenty, just go to bleeker street, walk towards McDougal and explore. Midtown, just poke your head in, check out the scene. for cheap PBRs midtown, Senior Spankys on 43rd between 6th and 7th across from Conde Nast.
It must be really depressing to live in NYC.
I feel bad for you people.
Why? We're getting our goose on.

Please, can someone explain to me what that means? Thanks.
I'm happy to live on the same block as Hank's, but pretty sure you'd be barred for life for uttering the phrase "get your goose on".
