ha ha ha-- true-- a hot hearty meal at 3am drunk is priceless, and they're not a bad place at all. they have good starchy breakfasts too.

Another good bar is Otto's Shrunken Head, in Alphabet City. Kind of a tiki-punk vibe. Guaranteed you'll hear at least one Cramps song while you're there.

Edit: Hang on, is Pony even 21?

she may act 12, but for all we know, she could be an old man. no matter. assume anything because this thread is fun.

^thank you! I will take your advice to heart, every time I lose something I feel like dying and cry for days. So your advice is probably good... being cautious !!
good thing i learned on nye that a bra is the best wallet in the world haha

I think I'm gonna go there: http://thestonenyc.com/

that's what happens to me w/ dc, except for friends who still live there and some places like the hirshhorn.

Quite honestly, if you just take the same very basic security measures that you would at home, you should be fine. My experience of NYC in recent years is that it's far safer now than most other cities of a similar size and stature. Caution is healthy but you certainly have no reason to feel paranoid about going out anywhere, especially in manhattan, day or night. IMO, the worst of NY is certainly no worse than parts of say London, or Berlin or Paris or any other major European city, and infinitely safer than most other big US cities. Anyone can be mugged anywhere in the world but overall I'd say NYC is very safe. Certainly no need to put money in your bra, unless you get drunk and fall into Coyote Ugly, when someone will do it for you.

Just enjoy yourself to the max.

you scared me! here in hamburg, i just throw my bag on the bar, have drinks and sometimes turn around to see if my bag's still there

Its kind of down the street. About 10 years ago I took my idiot brother there to show him a dive bar, he of course had to try and make friends with the bar tender who you could tell wanted nothing to do with him. I'm like, order your beer and shut up! My other idiot (half) brother broke his parole on New Years Eve and is back in prison for 20 months.

locals go to the Stage, about a block south, in fact, I think I'm stopping by there now on my way home!

Be scared! there is a whole industry around stealing these bags - some of the bags are worth 100's of dollars themselves.
