Dark Drinking

Finally a story this Friday to pep me up a little: Thrillist gives us the nod about Monday night partying in New York - in the dark. A bunch of bars are switching off their lights, cutting their prices to commemorate the third anniversary of Ye Old New York Black Out. Thillist says:

Participating bars throughout Downtown will slash drink prices and, for historical accuracy, douse their electric lights. To keep you from tripping over a chair and suing, the bars will provide luminescence with candles, flashlights, and rags dipped in whale tallow. As for your booze savings, you can use it to replace the food that's been rotting in your refrigerator since August 14, 2003.
