Here’s a NYC bar crawl with an Octoberfest theme for Saturday, September 19.  Ulyssses is sponsoring their annual Octoberfest on Stone Street in Manhattan’s Financial District.  It’s an opportunity to do some bar hopping along Stone Street and visit Ulysses and other spots, such as Vintry, The Growler and Adrienne’s.  Details in the announcement below (courtesy of Ulysses’ website):

A recent New York Daily News article (http://dld.bz/dN75H) informs of the forthcoming closing of business of the bar Hogs & Heifers. It’s a bar from a bygone era, back when the Meatpacking District actually had some meat packing activity. We’re surprised that the bar wasn’t forced out of business due to rising rent prior to 2015. RIP, Hogs & Heifers, you will be missed.
