More Babies In UES Bars
Remember a couple of weeks ago when The Times had this? We’ve got more of that with this spot of intel that hit the inbox over the weekend:
“I was at Bar Coastal on Saturday around 6 watching the end of the Cal/UCLA game, and with about 30 seconds left in one of the best college games of the season, a couple wheels in a baby!! Then they rearranged tables for 10 minutes to fit the kid and the stroller next to them -- and the worst part -- the kid (or one of the adults) smelled like a diaper change was in order. WTF?”
“Babies in bars” and the “stench of feces” are on my "how to craft a bad bar experience" list, so I hear what you’re getting at. But it's becoming apparent this "babies in bars" thing is trending upward, so let's do a favor for everyone: Please email us your "babies in bars" stories and let's crown the most likely drinking spots "to watch a couple wheel their kid in" before month’s end.
Baby sightings? PLEASE write in.

Southern Hospitality At The Super Bowl
It was only for a few seconds, but those paying close attention to the Justin Timberlake/Pepsi commercial during the Super Bowl may have noticed Timberlake’s UES ribs and BBQ spot, Southern Hospitality, featured in the ad. The folks over at Eater have the commercial posted.

Brady's Hates Tom Brady, Re-Names Itself Manning's
With the Super Bowl between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots set for Sunday, you've probably noticed local establishments hanging an extra Giants sign here or there, to show support for the hometown team.
To further that point and then some, UES dive bar Brady's on 82nd and 2nd is going to make it damn well known that the name of the bar has nothing to do with anything related to the Patriots or their quarterback Tom Brady -- and the bar has been temporarily re-branded Manning's, in honor of Giants quarterback Eli Manning.

Tues Night At Uva
Dinner at Uva (on 2nd btw 78th and 77th). Last night. Pretty great. That's the herb crusted salmon with spinach above, and the pasta ribbons sauteed with ragout of veal and montasio cheese in the back of it, which was preceded by grilled shrimp skewer over a plum tomato, avocado and palmito salad. The spot was mobbed prompting one patron to attribute it to the that fact that Uva is "as close to a downtown place you'll find up here." Whatever the reason -- the food is great; service, eh, OK; but it's brutally loud every time I'm in there. Luckily, last night must have been in the 50s (thanks global warming!) so they broke out the outdoor tables.
