Ok, so I may now be slightly slightly addicted to twitter. I can't help it, bite sized information packaged for lightening fast study breaks? Gotta love it! I recently ran across
Coovents Happy Hour Twitter
who takes a twist on my free and cheap daily tweets and lets you know what drink specials are happening around the city AT THAT MOMENT. Here is his latest in case you are dying for a drink:

Very, very cool.

A listserve to get you in the know.
There are millions of listserves giving you the lowdown on everything to do in the city but lately I've been digging the male-focused "Urban Daddy". Aside from their often sexist images (which may be reason enough to boycott, but then I'd boycott practically everything in the city) they actually have a good range of interesting activities, restaurants, and shops in the city.
They don't specifically let you know about cheap events, however if you become a member you get "perks" which include discount codes at zipcar, massage packages, and free drinks. For example, if you head to the frying pan on Saturday the first 100 people to mention Urban Daddy at 3pm get a free round of Coronas.
Not bad, not bad at all.

The most fun you'll have with a cocktail and five friends!
So it's not exactly the cheapest drink around but I just HAD to share my experience with Sugarcane, the branch off lounge of next door's Sushi-Samba. After dragging our feet around lower Manhattan in search of a strong drink a girl on a stipend could afford our group finally descended upon this swanky dark lounge next door to the Japanese-Brazilian fusion restaurant. After being scooted to the back (front tables are reserved for eating-only) we scoured the menu until Zach found just what we were looking for, the cocktail tree. (disclaimer: it may be called something else but you'll find it on the menu). At the end of a page long listing of delicious cocktails, the tree offers 12 mini cocktails in splendid little glasses, hanging from a metal tree, complete with a fruit garnish. You can chose any three cocktails you like and receive four of each drink (I HIGHLY recommend the lemon one with peach and guava!). Split between 6 friends we each got 2 drinks, each spent only 10 bucks (it's 60 for the tree) and each definitely got a little tipsy. Enjoy!
Sugarcane is on Park between 19th and 2oth!

Good deals? Sweet events? Free booze? Hell yea!
Today will be devoted to two email listserves that NYC-ers in search of bargains and deals, even free booze, must be a part of. The first is Daily Candy. Serving up daily offerings of where to be (events) and where to shop (sales) around the city this mass mailing is good for someone who wants to know the up to the day events of our shining city. There really is no focus on the cheap, however, so aside from the sales keep in mind that some of these NY events come attached with NY prices.
Next however is My Open Bar.com
which provides the cheap alcoholic in all of us a daily fix of events that offer an open bar with or without a cover, for the evening. Often these actually coincide with neat events, (avant garde maze openings anyone?), and are sometimes centered around one drink, and best of all, once you're in the door it's F.R.E.E.

Raise your glass (and IQ!)
Sorry for the late in the day post and for the fact that this will be short but finals time is in the air and I, for one, am in need of a drink and free ones are even better!
Every Sunday night at Tortilla Flats there is a weekly game of what is quite possibly my favorite drinking sport of all time, that's right it's TRIVIA NIGHT!
Starting at around seven and taking place around every half hour Tortilla flats hosts a knock-out game of trivia where questions, mainly from trivial pursuit, are read aloud as patrons scream out the answer. First person to get each question right gets a free shot of fantastic delicious tequila, lime included. I LOOOVEEEE trivia night and this bar makes it beyond fun as you can scream out anything you like and everyone gets in on the action. The food is quite delicious (ranging from 8-15 dollars for an entree) and the margaritas (35-50 pitchers) are tasty. Best of all, if you've got the brains the tequila is FREE. Only problem is the more you win the less likely you may be to ever learn anything again!
Where: Tortilla Flats, On the corner of West 12th street and Washington Street. Take ACE123 to 14th street, L to 8th ave
When: Sundays, 7ish to 11ish
ssswwweeeeetttttt
PS: L.A. tip! If you are choosing to come here for your birthday beware, cluing them into your upcoming celebration may cause you to receive complimentary "birthday spankings" from the Bartender. Thanks Julia. Sexism aside it's really a fun place!
