As an alternative to the standard "pickup bars" list, in which we list the perceived meat markets in town (Drink, Sneaky Pete's, etc.), readers were asked to list the most recent establishments where they actually met people with whom they ended up in bed. The landslide No. 1 answer (First Ave) is perhaps not as surprising as the other results. Some of us are obviously hitting the wrong grocery stores.
