New York Pubs and Bars for St. Patrick's Day

The New York Times comes up with a few that it considers some of the best, but it's a pretty ...

The book covers many of the most famous (and infamous) bars, most of which have a history as colorful as New York itself. There are Irish pubs, speakeasies, and historic places like Fraunces Taven in ...

Tickets can be purchased and details about both the band and the venue can be ...

Kenka



25 St. Marks Pl., New York, NY 10003
nr. Second Ave.
212-254-6363

Settle down, kids, and let me tell you a story. Like many good stories, it's a story about a bar. And like many post-modernists stories, it doesn't actually have much of a narrative. And like many stories my parents will probably be reading, it's really more of a restaurant and I don't even like the taste of alcohol, what ...

Chuck Berry to Play Concert in New York



Chuck Berry is still playing live gigs?! This was a surprise to me, but B.B. King's Blues Club in New York City has him listed as performing on September 14th.

But it's the club itself ...

Free Drinks in NYC... Where to Find Them



There are lots of open-bar parties and drink promotions going on around the City, and someone got the bright idea to create a Web site to put them in one place, called MyOpenBar.com. It lists various free-drink parties, open-bar events, drink promotion parties, and other happenings where you can get free booze.

A few caveats: there aren't always a lot of these events on a given day. Even for ...
