hi! you're right nothing beats NYC!!!! it's the greatest city in the world fo sure!!! sorry i'm replying soo late, i haven't checked my account frequently. when you are back in NY you should check out Naked Lunch, 230 Fifth, Crash Mansion, Joe's Pub & CBGB for live music, Delancey lounge for bohemian type atmosphere, really any place in LES (lower east side). whoa there's soo many places. The bars on MacDougal street are fun and u can find cheap beer and drink specials!! alright well safe & happy travels!
