The Barstool Sports office in New York is not an exceptionally glamorous place.
The things we have here are there to serve an purpose for the most part.
Most people coming to the Barstool offices next week for Surviving Barstool know this office very well.
Some of these guys have spent more hours in this building than their own homes.
This puts Kirk Minihane and Will Compton in an unfair spot.
They’ve never called NYC HQ their primary office.
The Shower
This is where you will shower.
It’s in the private bathroom that is near the stairwell.
I venture to never go in here.
It only has the one toilet and the room always faintly (or extremely) smells like shit.
This room always creeps me out.
I don’t know why.
Something about having a shower in a workplace bathroom that seems off to me.
You’ll have privacy and quiet at night because it’s possible for you to exit the door.
Also, those couches are more comfortable than the other dozens of couches we have on the content floor.
Ben Mintz may have left the New York office but his spirit lives in all of us forever.
Broken Urinal
This urinal in one of the 2nd floor bathrooms is always broken.
It’s been broken for months.
Some months it doesn’t flush at all and the darkest urine you could imagine just piles up.
Other months (like now), it just constantly runs.
It’s this weird little space that some people smoke or do “recreational” drugs in.
I know people got yelled at last year for going out on the scaffolding so don’t do that.
There is also a weird back staircase in this area as well.
It’s somehow even dirtier than the space in this picture.
The Temperature
It may say 73 but that’s a lie.
It always feels like it’s 63 degrees in here.
If you’re going to be staying here, pack hoodies, sweaters and maybe even a down jacket.
I’m hoping this helpful advice evens the playing field a little bit for Kirk and Will.
Welcome to New York!
