The secret to drinking cheap in NYC

The secret to drinking cheap in NYC

I have three words for you. : ( Pabst Blue Ribbon.)

If you don't know already, PBR is America's finest beer in a can at the fine price of $2. It's worth $2 but hey, $2 is $2! And you will look like a real local hipster when you belly up to the bar and say, "Bartender, give me a PBR!" Unfortunately you are still expected to tip the standard $1 per drink even though it's half the price...

Available at most bars. Enjoy!
