If I've learned anything from meeting up with high school friends from Facebook, it's that social awkwardness is not a phase. If you were goofy at 16, then you're goofy at 36. So when that creepy guy from school won't stop hounding you to catch up - writing on your wall, sending messages or commenting on your status - the best thing to do is accept the offer and suggest Ace Bar on the Lower East Side.

The key to a successful "Just get it over with" drink is the atmosphere. You need it busy enough to drown out any awkward silences, but calm enough to actually hear each other and "catch up" so you NEVER have to do this again. Great for after work or early weekend hours, Ace Bar has a calm vibe, but also offers great time killers like Pool, Darts, Buck Hunter, and best of all - Skee Ball. It also has great conversation starters like the wall of vintage lunchboxes (Thundercats anyone?), and a giant 3-D Werewolf poster.
wut?
