UPDATE: The Times reports that Señor Frogs has, mysteriously, closed its doors forever in Times Square. Its brief, short life will be fondly remembered by all.

Señor Frogs has unleashed a full-time fiesta on New York City, opening their first outpost not located in a beach destination or that flashy strip of casinos in the desert. Last week, four Gothamist staffers descended into the bowels of 42nd Street to see what a party-starting frog and yard-long cocktails looks like when you're not on Spring Break and discovered that Señor Frogs is the perfect place.
