New York City Bartenders & Patrons

All good things come to those that wait. (In French: Tout vient à point à qui sait attendre). That is what I thought when Timmy called me today to say that she is 99% sure she will work a Saturday night shift with Carmit at Time Out on Sept. 1. This is huge news, since Timmy moved to L.A. more than year ago. If you have seen these two work together, you know what you are in for. If you have not, watch out. They rocked the booze cruises so badly, we had to stop having them. Timmy is in the NYCBP Hall of Fame as a veteran of the Village Idiot, Yogi's, Who's on First, and Time Out.

I called Carmit to confirm this. "They will be sad if they miss it," she said of her regulars who can't make this trip to the bar. "I can't wait," she said. "Even if it is slow, it isn't about the money. It is about having fun together."

I would say 10 p.m. is a good time to get there and get your drink on. Be sure to tell your pals. It will be the best way to end the summer.
