No Need to BYO Snuggie to <em>This</em> Roof Bar

No Need to BYO Snuggie to This Roof Bar

How many times have you arrived at a roof party only to realize that you left your Snuggie at home? Probably never, but just in case, this winter the rooftop garden bar 230 Fifth has you covered. Literally. Owner Steven Greenberg has purchased 1,000 Snuggie-esque fleece hooded robes for outdoor use at the Flatiron district lounge. He tells us this is the third year he's supplied them to guests; during the first season he bought 300, and by spring they were all gone due to theft. He then restocked with 500 last year, but by the end only 300 remained. But instead of lining the robes with GPS-rigged explosives programmed to detonate a block away, Greenberg just bought another thousand. So don't feel too bad if you wake up back at home still wearing yours. more ›

You've Come a Long Way, Snuggie

       

Earlier today Snuggie and Fashion Week collided, as the sleeved blankets took the runway at the Snuggie fall 2009/winter 2010 collection show. The invite read that it would "showcase the latest colors, fabrics and patterns" and feature "the sexiest looks in blanket-wear," for not only adults, but kids and canines as well. (Sadly, it doesn't look like the SnugWow was featured.) more ›

Snugging It Out at the Snuggie Pub Crawl

             + 5 more

What's blue and red and sweats all over? Saturday's Snuggie Pub Crawl , which was the second blanket-with-sleeves drinking event to hit New York in as many weeks. Over 200 Snuggie enthusiasts donned their Snuggies on the most beautiful day of the year (so far), getting proudly loaded underneath their heat-trapping blankets with sleeves. Unlike last week's free Snuggie bender, yesterday's Snuggie Pub Crawl cost $20 for a day of drink specials (which not everyone paid) at east side bars, and part of the proceeds went to an orphanage in Tanzania. more ›

Snuggie Wars: Rival Snuggie Fest Steals Pub Crawl's Thunder

On Saturday afternoon, the super-hyped Snuggie™ Pub Crawl will capture a generation's lazy zeitgeist by bringing debauchery, blankets and irony together in one time-wasting event. (For the uninitiated, the Snuggie™ is a blanket with sleeves; this commercial will fill you in on the details.) But wait, there was a Snuggie™ pub crawl this weekend! Did we miss it? more ›

Snuggies for the Stroller Mafia

Snuggies for the Stroller Mafia

The Snuggie phenomena has just gone too far. NYMag has a frightening image of a Peekaru, aka a Snuggie for Park Slope moms, of which they accurately react to with, "Ahhhhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhhhh! Oh my GOD! What is that THING?!?! It looks like a two-headed monster! Oh, good Lord, it's a mom-and-baby Snuggie." On the upside, this will certainly control the stroller traffic on 7th Avenue, and surely this contraption can only prevent public displays of breastfeeding (for those Brooklynites who frown upon such an act). Would you rather see these or Bugaboos on the street? more ›

Spotted in Greenpoint: Snuggie Sale

Spotted in Greenpoint: Snuggie Sale

That adult onesie that everyone has been fawning over for months, The Snuggie, may be more attainable than you think! No need to pay $19.99 + shipping and wait for what seems like months for it to arrive, you can just go to your local Rite Aid! The one in Greenpoint, on Manhattan between Calyer and Meserole, is stocked up and selling them for just $14.99 (and you get a booklight, though we hear it's of questionable quality). Now someone needs to have another Snuggie Pub Crawl before summer arrives (but ladies, keep in mind that if you're wearing your Snuggie outdoors, "You need some high-heeled boots. It looks stupid with flats"). more ›

Snuggie Pub Crawl Will Warm (Or Creep Out) Your Drunken Heart

Snuggie Pub Crawl Will Warm (Or Creep Out) Your Drunken Heart

The Snuggie™—that adawable bwanket with sweeves that's basically a hoodless monk's cowl with a trademark—has inspired all sorts of reactions, from snickering to wanting, with its instant-classic commercial. ("Blankets are okay but they can slip and slide. And when you need to reach for something, your hands are trapped inside!") With the Snuggie™, your hands are free to work a remote control, massage your lover's feet, or pound Jäger in public. New York's FIRST Snuggie Pub Crawl is in the works, and already over 50 Snuggie™ enthusiasts have signed up! The date is still T.B.D., but the vision of a mob of pseudo-ironic drunks stumbling around in their creepy Snuggies™ makes the ritual orgy scene in Eyes Wide Shut seem somehow comforting by comparison. And while we don't want to contemplate what a drunken Snuggie™ hook-up would look like, now we can't help ourselves! [Via AntiKris, whose step-mother is sewing her a Snuggie for the occasion.] more ›
