We don’t mean to sound like a podcast, but men of a certain age with a dwindling repertoire of textable friends need help. Male friendship is a fragile thing—especially at the crucial moment after small talk has been made and numbers have been exchanged. It's time for the very first hang. The relationship can't yet handle crowded bars or serious tasting menus. You could do a sports bar, but that’s so on the nose. Surely two modern men are capable of swimming at depths deeper than the question, “Drums or flats?” (or maybe not). Go let this new friendship blossom by starting at one of these spots.
