Welcome to the...Sweet Paradise Lounge. The newly opened LES bar is the latest destination for hipsters and hipster wannabes alike, brought to you by the owner of the original on-the-cheap dive spot, Welcome to the Johnsons. Since there's nothing quite like 2am Pabst Blue Ribbon-induced Ms. PacMan faceoffs and slumming it on Johnsons' plastic covered couches, we were pleased to see this younger sibling's own idiosyncrasies: a glass case of movie-theater candies like Jujyfruits, Milk Duds, Sour Patch Kids, Reese's Pieces—all for 3 bucks each. Pop a few jujys, knock back some 2 dollar Genesee Cream Ale beers and 3 dollar frozen margaritas (for your hipster girls) on the black swivel bar chairs, and drop a buck into their trademark jukebox for some Ramones, Lou Reed, or good old Johnny Cash. Junior mints, tunes and two drinks for less than 10 bucks? Paradise, indeed. |
