If you thought you had to be in Texas to fulfill your urge to ride a mechanical bull, look no further than Johnny Utah’s. 
Located at 25 West 51st it is an excellent location for anyone to spend their 21st – and that’s what fellow classmate Lisa did. A few of us went out to help her celebrate her first legal drink—and her first mechanical bull-ride! (the way some of these girls were riding the bull should make it illegal in most states, but maybe not Utah).
First in our group to take the reigns was Adam, but he was rattled and jostled and bucked off. Then Lisa hopped on, and showed the bull who was boss—until she was ceremoniously tossed off too. Next was Danielle who threw in the lasso move, which was a crowd-pleaser, and she eventually met her end as well. Jasmine was the last of the group and did us all proud. Yours truly didn’t make it up, but next time I’m set to 
tame the bull.
Oh and sorry to burst people’s bubbles, but the bull at Johnny Utah’s does not run on an autopilot program. There is a man blatantly on a podium with hardly more than a joystick controlling how fast, hard, and rough the bull rides. So you can imagine why he sends the boys flying 
and gives the girls a fighting chance. So as a girl I’m saying that the mechanical bull results in a good time, lots of laughs, and a little soreness the next day. New York may have a front that’s all about class and sass, but when it comes down to it, a lot of people just want to ride a bull!
