Hip and trendy East Village bar located on the corner of St. Mark's Place and 1st Avenue.

Adheres to the "everything here is black except for the translucent blue stuff, oh - and that'll be $8 for that drink" rule of How to Be Hip and Trendy. Also note: Sunday must be amateur DJ night. Cause there was one there. You wouldn't think having an amateur DJ would be necessary in a bar without a cabaret license and with maybe 12 customers (including the 8 of us), but apparently it was.

Maybe that's why I paid $8 for that vodka.
