Let's face it: Philly ain't got a whole lot going for it.  Sixth borough my ass.  But if there's one spot to make me eat my words, it's Space 1026 and this kid who started it.  Check out their awesome work.  What the hell else are you doing, pauper – jetting to the Hamptons?

 

Editor's note: not sure if there will actually be much booze, so don't go just for that.

This just in: hardly a week goes by now without a new DIY space opening in Bushwick. This new joint called The Glass Door promises free BBQ, discount tattoos, DJs and bands. Aquadora, HTR and the proverbial "more."

For boys who liked to "experiment" in college and everyone else who just loves crazy, wild and senseless crap, guest host Astro and Linda Simpson perform a brief albeit hilarious comic routine. Thursday is this week's Friday, so go nuts. RSVP here.

This sweet tea vodka is pretty good. Brings out the front-porch hick in everyone, even Jews.

Watery American lager, for your drinking pain and pleasure. RSVP to info@mercurybarnyc.com or call (212) 683-2645.

Celebrate the independence of America by drinking. Duh.
