Ship of Fools Bar and Grill

Sojourn to the purported Notre Dame bar on the upper East Side to catch the game and take in the sites. Prior to the game broke bread at Big Daddy's Diner right next door.....great ambiance, with the 50's decor to boot, along with reasonable prices-- desserts definitely worth "the price of faire." Check out the cookie monster shake or the hot fudge sundae mmmm.........

Ship of Fools, beyond the charming name fatty foods, beer, and multiple large screens align this joint. I thought I stepped into a time capsule and walked out to my college fraternity as the 20 something crowd attempted to re-claim their golden years with a riotous game of flip cup at the back of the saloon.

The couple next to us were on a first date-- probably not the best of venues since the music and sports blaring from the speakers create an impossible environment for meet and greet type conversation.

Still, affordable food and drink are not easy to find in this neighborhood as the ritzy gals from Gossip Girl will have you know---"you're in our hood bii---otch!"

Worth the visit with the lads, but leave the non-sports loving gf at home (sry babe).
