Linner is the new brunch - Sunburnt Cow-style

Forget about brunch or dinner.  The new brunch is a combination or merging of lunch and dinner = LINNER! That's what we had yesterday, what a day!  Good times had by all, from the afternoon of bloodys, 80s rock and old school house, escalating to an all-out danceathon  inpromptu super-bowl party, ending with a full-on competition on who's fete was better, ours or the boring wannabes watching us from across the street.  We won of course, I mean they were dressed in team jerseys... and actually watched the game.

First things first, however, our brunch or LINNER!  We had to change the venue,  the simple fact was that we were all too damn  lazy to go to Astoria.  Next time borough!  We had no problem choosing an old favorite - The sunburnt cow in the LES.  It had the formula of what our brunch is shaping up to look like:   Unlimited drinks - check.  DJ cranking out the tunes - doublecheck,  friends to share it with = happy check.  I think this is going to become a weekly party of something.  We must get our groove on!   The crew was Steveie and Christine and myself, and although we waited an hour, we had happy servers and a very handsome host more than happy to get us started with yummy bloodys and tasty whiskley gimlets or something like that. 

The vibe was definitely loud and crowded, and I do love the blackened curtains, keeping the sunlight out.  Perfect strategy to mess with your brain, so you think it's nighttime, all the time.  Let's stay forever!

We got a table right in front of the DJ, who was working on nostalgia-inducing moments of the 80s variety, throwing down some Billy Idol,  David Bowie, Men at Work - yeah top 10, now sing along with me - because we all know the words!!v And this brings us to our quote of the day - "this is the whitest white song that white people have come up with"  song by the Violent Femmes.  I don't remember the song, but the quote is worth repeating.

Finally got a documented picture of the food consumed, proof that we do eat at brunch.  The fries were yummy delishousness, and really after the third glass of bloody, I think I ate just to coat my belly.  Then it was back to the bar, and calling in the crew to see where the journey would take us next.


This led to picking up the ladies at "Nice Guy Eddie" , nachos 'natch, then rocking out to some super-sexy house tracks with the superbowl game in the background.  Who played again?  Who can remember, but the dancing was off the HOOK!

So there it is:
