In “Friends” they had Central Perk

In “How I Met Your Mother” they had McLaren’s Pub

In “Seinfeld” they had Monks Cafe

In “The Simpsons” they have Moe’s Tavern

These spots were legendary in their respective shows. It was where the characters came together after a long day day and had some of their most important (and entertaining) dialogues.

We’ve got our spot too. It used to be The Great Wizoo before it closed down. But it’s the Randy Warthog in Greenpoint. It has become the place where the characters in my life series hang out.

It isn’t fancy. The food and drinks are cheap. The people are friendly. There is a pool. The atmosphere is great. And the friends are even greater.

It acts as a home base, where we can get together and catch up on what’s going on in each other’s lives. We don’t need to worry about how we dress or who’s gonna be there.

I know it isn’t going to be the hangout spot forever. But I think that throughout my life I’m going to make sure I have one like it wherever I go.
