Venue: Madison Square Garden
Food: Fat Annie’s Truck Stop
Drink: Stout
Miscellaneous: Jack’s 99 Cent Stores
While Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton evoke everything from heavy blues jams to sitting in a car with your parents singing along to their recent hits, the fact that these two were in Blind Faith is worth going to see if they’ll play “Can’t Find My Way Home.†Fat Annie’s Truck Stop offers truck stop style food oddly positioned in Herald Square. Burgers, chilli, po boys and pie are some options in this fun restaurant. Right next store, Stout may look like a sports bar but it has one of the largest selections of dark stout beers in the city. Yeah, it’s a 99 cent store but Jack’s is more like watching a train wreck happen slowly. The place is packed with people trying to get by, yelling, and elbowing each other. True the deals are great, but you’ll either find it hysterical or swear you’ll never go back.
