you know how sometimes you're in a club in times square and a midget in a zombie mask is leading you from the coffin you were just in to the entrance of hell? no? oh, ha ha. musta have been a dream.
wait a minute....that was no dream and i woke up with the headache to prove it.
do you like haunted houses? well, if you like yours with a side of absinthe and a g-string then you'll probably want to go check out this place before nov 1st.
last night i visited club purgatorio, which was scenic designed by the company i work for. i definitely made the mistake of thinking halloween and burlesque go better with jagermeister, so if you think having fun should be a painful experience, then yeah, this place is for you.
if you prefer not to abuse yourself but instead treat yourself to the most delicious vegan ice-cream in the world, may i recommend lula's sweet apothecary which is quite literally the sweetest little ice cream parlor i ever did see. they are a tiny little shop with a lot of personality. there are great vintage posters on the walls, excellent music playing, and they will make you a non-dairy egg cream (no egg, no cream) with an old-fashioned seltzer bottle! (they also have gluten-free cones and tons of gf options!) their inventive ice "cream" flavors are the best part. made with either a soy or a nut base, my favorites have been their soft-serve cake batter, peanut butter & jelly, and the elvis, which was a mind-blowing combo of fried bananas, peanut butter, jelly, & chocolate covered soy bacon! crazy, i know, but don't knock it till you try it--it was outta this world. tonight i did a half maple & waffles, and half drumstick, which was like a deconstructed version of one of those frozen treats you get in the ice cream bin at deli's. it was a lovely little medley of flavor, and after a few bites of creamy sweetness, last night in hell seemed like a bad dream that had finally faded away.
