Blood flows in the in the streets of New York City today -- Mary's blood. It's the 75th anniversary of the sanguine spirit, and to celebrate, TGIF's Times Square location is selling Bloody Marys at 1933 prices -- a recession-friendly 99 cents. But if you're not game on pushing through crowds to get there, here are some other NYC spots guaranteed to satisfy your thirst for blood.

1. Prune (East Village) - Popular brunch spot with eleven kinds of Bloody Marys, including the "Green Lake" garnished with wasabi and a beef jerky swizzler.
2. Great Jones Café (Greenwich Village) - The Cajun Mary, a spicy ode to the blessed Virgin, will kick your brunch up a notch, Emeril-syle.
3. Madiba (Fort Greene) - With all that 'Yes We Can" hoopla, you may be tempted to order the Obama Mamma at this South African Brooklyn spot, but he already got your vote, and that's enough. Opt for Kiki's Bloody Mary, a mix of vodka, horseradish, hot pepper sauce, lime juice, and the rest.

Get him a drink, then give him the boot.

1. The Map Room (Bucktown/Wicker Park) - With books and maps reminiscent of a European explorer's study and a second-to-none beer selection, the bar's literally perfect for telling the guy to take a hike.

2. The Vic Theatre Brew & View (Wrigleyville) - When the dilapidated old Vic Theatre isn't hosting concerts (which is most nights), you can watch third-run movies, drink, and yell obscenities at the screen at its Brew & View night. Either way, you can scream, pull at your hair, and spill your guts without making a scene.

3. The Long Room (Lakeview) - Yeah, it's just one long, dark room with a patio seating area to the side, but the place has a certain indiscernible charm. Lure him into the photobooth and document the exact moment his heart breaks.

1. Charlie Trotter’s (North Side) - Brag about eating there but one-up yourself by claiming it doesn’t live up to the hype.
2. Alinea (Lincoln Park) - Get ready to dump around $200 per person, but that’s for 25 progressive American courses.
3. Manor (Near North Side) - Unless you have a lot of cash to burn on bottle service, don’t even think about trying to get in.

Friday
Stay: Hollywood Roosevelt. It's luxe. It's glam. There's all-night pool parties. It's the perfect setting for a weekend away with the ladies.
3 p.m.: Tropicana at the Roosevelt Hotel. Stretch your legs in the sun and have a cocktail (or three).
4 p.m.: Nothing to wear? Head on down to vintage clothing store Jet Rag. Dig through hipster heaven and you might come away with a pair of 70's Frye boots, or a sweet fur shrug. Either way, it's good times.

3. Top of the Mark (Nob Hill) - Top of Nob feels like top of the world with a drink, arm candy, and le jazz hot.

What? Cher and Bette in the same town isn’t enough for you?

1. 8 ½/Piranha (Off-Strip East) - 8 ½ is the livelier and dance-oriented, while Piranha features giant fishtanks and more room to ogle the go-go boys.
