The Continental
25 3rd Ave (at St. Marks)
Time: All the time
Price: Five shots, $10

Five shots of anything. And yes, they’re serious. But at what cost? This place is perfect if you’re with four friends on your way to an obligatory LES birthday party, and you want a quick round of Jäger shooters before you spend two hours milking your $18 mojito, waiting for the ice to melt, and then drinking that. This place is perfect if, alcoholic that you are, your idea of a ‘continental breakfast’ is one shot each of vodka, rum, whiskey, gin and tequila. This place is perfect if you have any sort of interest in getting roofied and subsequently gangbanged by white supremacists. But for real, go in and get your shots, and peace out. I made the mistake of overstaying my welcome. After being roughed up by the bouncer, the bartender refused to give me water because her “boss would get mad.” And by mad, I’m assuming he would take her out back and go to town with his cat-of-nine-tails. So celebrate diversity, and check out this is a one-of-a-kind, white-trash gem unlike anything else in Manhattan.
