Spitzer Satisfies Me To The Core

The former guv doesn't do it for me.

On the other hand, Spitzer's Corner in the Lower East Side can get me revved up -- but good.

Today, I ducked into their bar, windows wide open allowing for a gentle breeze, to grab a quick beer and snack after a luxe mani-pedi at Poh Tree Thai Spa. There's nothing like a brewsky after a spa treatment. Herbal teas and Cosmos be damned.

In this case, the beer of choice was a pint of a hoppy, citrus-infused IPA from Bear Republic called Racer 5. The snack was a helping of Guss' Pickles.

I giddily stared at my pretty, painted toes while I crunched and imbibed.

Don't think a Saturday afternoon can get much better than that.
