That kid in the picture is crying because it doesn't want to be in a bar!

Erica Reitman is just a younger, childless version of Louis Crawford.

Crawford???? Now THERE'S a woman who knew how to handle her liquor and children!!!

"From time to time, Sasha Raven Gross can be seen teetering around a neighborhood drinking hole. She flirts with strangers, talks gibberish and sometimes spins in circles for no apparent reason until she falls down. In one hand is her liquid of choice -- watered-down orange juice in a sippy cup.
The 14-month-old toddler is the sort of barfly who's at the center of..."

Ummm, that is not flirting, but it is EXACTLY what I hate about babies in bars. (Not talking about her infantile dad) I don't want a kid "spinning" or being the "center" of ANYTHING at a bar Goddammit!

Babies are like miniature drunk people. They topple over randomly, they laugh at funny faces, they ramble incoherently, and they switch between being happy and crying their eyes out in the blink of an eye.

Couldn't disagree with you more, @Jamzer...unless you just mean that we both have blogs (in which case, right on!). Glad CNN included Brooklynian, as I was the one who actually sent the reporter the link...

slow news day

I guess one is your ditzy, nosy drunk aunt and the other is your younger, ditzy, nosy drunk second cousin ....

wow effed in park slope, thank you sooooo much for including us! what we do without your useless blog? have you ever had an original idea or is it 100% for profit and fame?

burns

Profit and fame, really?
How about speaking your mind and being funny as hell?

I crack up any time someone mentions articles here and shares the link love, which means more views, visitors, ad views, new blood etc. here.

Sometimes that means a cleanup on aisle 5 for the more controversial stuff, but I'd take dynamic and thriving over less active, sleepy backwater any day of the week (and often many times over holidays, come to think of it).

FIPS has had plenty of their own original ideas, articles and in-person events and although some of their items are duds or groaners like any site (ahem...looks around here) overall they are a good two-way player in the online Brooklyn ecosystem.

So love 'em or hate 'em, it's all good for this site.

And I happen to like the intersects. But maybe teh intersects or any other kinda sects ain't some peoples' thing.

This Matt Gross (prefect name) jackhole was just on channel 4 trying to explain why he thinks babies i n bars are a good idea and was basically told he was an idiot. I think the show is called LX (at 5pm)

He was looking all crazy-eyed on TV as well. His kid is doomed

but, like most folks who are odd, he'll get to be on TV a lot.
Freaks make for highly rated, albeit stupid, TV.

That LX show is terrible. I'm amazed that channel 4 thinks that is the best thing they can do with that time slot.

sunshine

I always expect to see the news, and instead I find that LX show, which is how I found that jackhole on at exactly 5:00 yesterday. I don't know what the heck NBC is thinking

xlizellx

That LX show is like those terrible things you watch in the back of a cab....that's all I can think of when it comes on.

jeffrey

Is that the show with that anorexic male model host that offers an endless display of staged sideways grins and blue steel faces?

toadette

Sounds right, I think he has a Brazilian accent or something?
