Oh, I'm sorry, that was "Merica, the sorry excuse for a bar down the block that closed a half minute after it opened. This is Ummburger, with those totally authentic grafitti looking giant drinks painted on the rolldown gates to remind you why this bar exists in the first place. Feel free to drink as many of those 35-ounce coma-inducing sugar-laden concoctions as you like, but remember that if Mt Sinai's ambulance comes to pick you up off the sidewalk to take you to the hospital, it;s a long ride up to 101st Street, so you might want to pack a lunch and bring a good book.
