Found what looks like a good list of bars with outdoor seating in NYC. Don’t be scared off by the ghetto site design, the list seems decently comprehensive although I can think of a few notable omissions in the below the 14th St. division, like Lorelai.

For the Midtown crew, the past few days of the after work scene at the B.P. Cafe and the Beer Bar at Cafe Centro have been hottie central. Go sic em’!

As a sidenote, I am disappointed in NYMag’s so-called Urban Etiquette Handbook. Talk about a guide for n00bs.

Their subway section tackles things like holding the door open and clipping nails … *yawn*. Garden variety offenses. What about those bastards that grease up the pole with Vaseline?

Or those sweaty, fat men that MUST sit in a space designed for a small Asian woman? Or how about the hair-pullingly annoying — waiting until you get in front of the turnstile before you extract your Metrocard?

For those of you who want a taste of the REAL THING (at least when it comes to subway etiquette), check out Randy Kennedy’s “Subwayland.” He tackles subway customs in an entire chapter, covering things like Leg Spreaders, Door-Blockers and Pole-Huggers.

Here’s a taste of Kennedy:

“Properly defined, of course, pole-hugging is one of two subcategories under the general offense of pole-hogging, which also includes pole-leaning. But the results are the same: the verticle poles subway cars, intended to be gripped by as many as five or six hands on a crowded train, are instead monopolized by one body, which tends to be large and perspiring heavily … Sometimes, the body wraps the pole in its arms like an old waltzing partner. Occasionally, the body is doing the one-armed hug or the one-shoulder lead - less serious but still taking up wildly undemocratic amounts of pole space.”

Sidenote #2. NYMag’s sad coverage of NYC etiquette has prompted us to start our own Ask a New Yorker series of posts. Unfortunately that name seems to be taken so we’re calling ours Curious in NYC?
