Uncle Sam

Happy 4th of July to the Infatuation Nation. We’re celebrating the holiday by bringing you a Friday Fives of historic magnitude. Uncle Sam himself gives you five go-to picks and some interesting personalities that he likes to follow on Twitter. Restaurant favorites from the face of a nation…we’re so big time.

Also, Uncle Sam says that if you’re signed up to our email list, you don’t have to pay any federal income taxes this year.

Seriously. He said that.

Uncle Sam’s “Perfect For” Picks

Birthdays

Brooklyn Bowl (61 Wythe Ave.) – “I am having my birthday here this year because I own at bowling and I love fried chicken. See you on Sunday. Bring fireworks.”

Good Vibes

Freemans (Freeman Alley) – “Sounds like ‘freedom’. Tastes like freedom too.”

Chronic Brunch

The Smile (26 Bond St.) – “Nothing is more American than going to brunch. Only the people of this great nation would make up a fourth meal of the day just so they can get drunk and overspend on eggs.”

Action at the Bar

Pulinos (282 Bowery) – “If you hate this place, then you hate capitalism. McNally certainly knows how to make that paper. Also, there are always hot chicks here…and most of them are my age.”

Corporate Cards

Eleven Madison Park (11 Madison Ave.) – “I have dropped some serious company money at this place over the years. I suppose most of that came from you. Thanks?”

Kelly’s Twitter People

@barackobama – I keep waiting for him to say some funny shit, but he never does. Turns out he’s a pretty serious dude

@padmalakshmi – She’s hot.

@iamdiddy – Can’t stop, won’t stop.

@M_Ahmadinejad – Probably not really the Iranian leader’s account, but I still enjoy sending him DMs that say “suck it”.

@danny_devito – Two words. Troll foot.
