Hip, thirsty gays know that Easternbloc is the place to get your Kremlin going any night of the week (and Sunday afternoon for the popular Sunday Social with $2 champers cocktails).
Soviet kitsch, high camp (choose between the chairs labeled 'hooker' or 'Mary'), and taxidermied deer heads cover the wall of this cruisey, little East Village fave. Bathrooms are decorated with vintage dirty magazine covers and are “1-gay-at-a-time,” in case you can’t read the sign.
The sexy men manning the bar are actually the owners, of whom the French beefcake, Benjamin Maisani, is dating CNN resident gay Anderson Cooper. Be nice to them and they might buy you a drink.
