The Distinguished Wakamba: Sounds like a funky tiki bar, doesn’t it? Well, that it ain’t. The Distinguished Wakamaba is more of a haunted “Gilligan’s Island” meets Eighth Ave. hostel. Plastic sea creatures and fishing nets are strewn about, and a ridiculous amount of fake seaweed drips from the ceiling, walls, and bar. There is no explanation for the stars that hang from the ceiling, and don’t try asking the bartender for one—they no habla inglese. So two-word drinks (Jack & Coke, Scotch rocks...) and beer names are about all they can handle if you want it done right. Despite all this and the overpriced beer ($5 Buds?!), it’s still a favorite for bus drivers, postal workers, and dildo salesmen from the DVD porn shop next door (seriously) who’ve just clocked out. |
