POUR YOUR HEART OUT!
Shreddin' exes at NYC Valentine bar
Shed no tears this Valentine’s Day. Shred your ex instead.
Scorned lovers can savor the holiday this year by tearing mementos of their exes into pieces — just like their hearts once were torn apart.
Just get a $16.50 ticket to the pop-up Crushed Heartbreak Bar in The Pool Club at Virgin Hotels New York City in NoMad, where you can then write whatever you want about your former flame on an index card — and then put it through a shredder. The bar closes March 3. Upon arrival, you’ll be poured a “Banish Your Ex” shot, served with a dropper so your “ex’s tears” can be added to a glass of Belvedere vodka, apricot and Pama liqueur.
A waitress will ask you to recite this mantra as your drink: “I banish you from harming me, now leave my life and let me be.”
The venue provides tissues while playing breakup-themed songs like “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus, “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor, Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River” and “thank u, next” by Ariana Grande
Scorned ladies’ night
Brooklynite Indy K.’s wounds were still fresh when she showed up at the bar on Thursday.
She had just split with her boyfriend of four years after learning he was unfaithful — from the woman he was cheating with.
“I broke up with him because a girl called my phone 40 times looking for him,” the 34-year-old told
The Post. “He was living with her.”
Bronxite Liliana Francisco, 45, was at the bar to rid herself of “a major cheater” she dated for four years.
“Cheating is the endgame for most relationships,” she warned. “But I’m ready to shred, ready to let that go.”
She recalled the red flags she ignored, which included him having “a lot of social media interaction with followers” and being “very friendly with females.”
Jenn D’Imperio, 36, of New Jersey, shredded a DJ she met through work and dated for nine months long distance.
“We were supposed to be going to my cousin’s wedding in California, I was a bridesmaid, he was coming to meet my entire family,” she recalled. “And five days before we were supposed to leave, he broke up with me through a text message and then blocked me.
“Moral of the story: Don’t date a deejay.”
Christian Z. from Queens, 36, was hoping to move on from a colleague he dated.
“A co-worker, they never end well,” he warned.
Monica U. of Queens — who wore a heart-printed dress — was there to shred a man she met through mutual friends and dated for “a rough five years.”
“I’m a single parent and he was never used to that,” the 32-year-old said.
She gave him the boot a few years ago and has since moved on — as did he.
“I actually bumped into him a week ago. He has a wife and a kid,” she said. “It was so weird.”
