How I Met Your Mother: Pilot (S1E1) vs How I Met Your Father: Pilot (S1E1)

Published: Feb. 1, 2022, 3 p.m.

Have you had a chance to check out the Hulu original show How I Met Your Father yet? Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I really enjoyed it. I think that Hilary Duff and the rest of the cast do a great job. With all of that said, I still really enjoy the OG, How I Met Your Mother. When I went to New York City several years ago, I made sure that I went to McGee's Pub, which is the bar that inspired McLaren's on the show. Oddly enough (please don't judge), this was actually the best food I had while visiting and I just got nachos. I mention this bar because they have 14 cocktails that you can choose from that are inspired by the show, everything from The Naked Man to The Slutty Pumpkin. I know while there I had The Slutty Pumpkin, but I can't remember what else I got.
