I was super excited about BINGO at Mo Pitkin’s cause really; I love Mo Pitkin’s even though I know I complain about the prices sometimes. It’s so cute and they have good latkes and this one drink that tastes like a creamsicle. And BINGO!?!? Well who doesn’t love that?

It started at 9:30 and I was running late because of the oh so reliable NYC transit system. Lucky for me, I had a reservation because the dining room where the BINGO fun takes place was completely full. So if you don’t like being turned away at the door, I suggest you call ahead or get there early cause you do not want to miss this. It was the funnest time ever!!!

Murray Hill, the host, and Harry, his beautiful debutante of a sidekick, were a great team. It had a very old-timey feel and there were even a couple of old-timers in the audience, but mostly the room was full of east village 20-somethings and a couple of people celebrating their birthdays.

It was an evening of laughter and fabulous prizes. My roommate won the first game we played and took home a magazine called My Comrade and a book on CD about managing your email (cause you know how email can be completely overwhelming sometimes.) Other prizes offered were: a my little pony; a hello kitty notebook and a book about kitties (this prize also included a look at Harry’s kitty…if you know what I mean); a magic 8 ball and a couple of shower caps; drink tickets; a Mo Pitkin’s gift certificate and t-shirt; a Murray Hill t-shirt; tickets to Joan Rivers’ show; and the grand prize of the evening: $120!! Sadly, I won nothing.

There were a couple of people that yelled BINGO at the same time, so there were tiebreakers that consisted of a beer chugging contest and an arm wrestling match. I ever so highly recommend this. You can eat and drink and laugh and play BINGO all at the same time. Also, there’s no drink minimum and the wait staff was totally cool with me and my one jack and coke. So yeah, if you like fun, you should check this out.
