TO DON'T Gawker recommends

It must be fairly difficult for Gawker Media employees to practice what they preach when they're contractually obligated to preach 12 times a day. How else to explain the apparent disconnect between Gawker deciding to throw its Christmas party at The Belgrade, the downstairs lounge of Bar Martignetti, which the New York gossip site nominated to its Douchebag Restaurants Hall of Fame two weeks ago?

According to a Gawker tipster, Bar Martignetti seems like a bar more likely to be found in the Meatpacking District (a district that merited a series of "hit pieces" from the site) than in its marginally less annoying location of NoLita (That's North of Little Italy, for our Red State readers).
