Cash Cow

Page 32 of Snap No. 4

When it comes to our new favorite bars, it’s all about the Benjamins, baby

Whether it’s the cool little place you accidentally stumble across (Hello, Nights & Weekends in Brooklyn!), or the new “in the know” place that comes highly recommended by friends (Hey, Lion’s Den in San Fran, we’re talkin’ to you!), it seems like these days, all the best, most fun bars are cash-only.

But honestly, what.the.hell?! When I got to pay for my drinks, and the bartender points me to a nearly unintelligible, small sign that says “Cash Only,” quite frankly, I’m offended.

Don’t bar owners know their target audience? We are digital natives, we can’t wait for the day when cash is a mere memory from yester-year and we pay for everything with our iphones. Now you expect us to carry cash?

Ps: See ya next weekend, beb! Xo —ms
