“You’d think the arcade games would tip the author off that it’s a bar for younger people.”
Actually there are quite a few 40+ (unmarried loners) hogging those machines, they are of the vintage variety afterall.
There’s this one older guy who can ummm, beat Punch Out every single time.
i love how basset hounds have that bow-legged thing going on in front. so cute!
meanwhile, pay the old guy from manhattan no mind! barcade is fun and all but i would guess that an old dude who prefers bottle service and name dropping minor celebrities wouldn’t be into it. it’d be like your snobby uncle hanging out at your local bar, yikes! and yuk!

Lewis does seem to have a point about the age being a driver of those who are out and ‘hip’. It definitely does seem to be mainly the young in bklyn, with manhattan spanning ages. Who cares really? He might just be bitter, thus using that “look I’m a rebel” black leather jacket to distract you from his pot-belly and receding hairline.
The Manhattan elite are holding fast to a dying world.
The fact that they refer to themselves as “fabulous” ratchets up their douchebaggery.
ive seen people of all ages in that bar (specifically because they have old school video games that a lot of people in their 30s and even 40s played as kids..) he just sounds like a flat out snob.
