"The Wayland is the best bar in New York City. Yeah okay Johnny you talk in hyperbole all the time... A fair criticism indeed. Normally I 'd agree, but I feel as strongly about this as I do that Blood Sugar Sex Magik is RHCP 's best album. Or that Norman F ing Rockwell is Lana Del Rey 's magnum opus.Anyways, I came to the Wayland for my first drink post moving to nyc as it is relatively close by. I got to talking to Dale (he manages the place) as he was working behind the bar this night. He told me his favorite drink is the Smoked Roasted (S R), so I had to pull the trigger. The S R is still my favorite drink I have had in the city. It is a Mezcal and Pineapple infused drink that Alphabet City locals refer to as The Nectar of the Gods. Since that night I 've probably been here 30+ times and whatever you want, the Wayland has. An open air seat on a hot summer day? CHECK! An intimate, but not over the top date spot? EASY CALL! A night out to get active? NEXT QUESTION! A live music venue? YURRPP!Never forget when the Wayland literally caught on fire and was open 3 days later. A Phoenix rising from the ashes. I love the Wayland so much that I wrote an original poem, taking nothing from any other poem. Sometimes I feel like I don 't have a partner, sometimes I feel like my only friend,Is the bar that I frequent,The Wayland on Ave C,2 Smoked Roasted 's, Together we cry... Could be a good song intro I think too. The staff here is second to none, need to highlight Dale and Josh as they have become friends as opposed to just the local bartender doubling as a therapist.I have loved in the Wayland. I have lost in the Wayland. I have knelt in the Wayland. I have felt in the Wayland. But most importantly, I have formed in the Wayland."
