So it sometimes seems you have a choice between frat or really pretentious.<br /><br />There was all sorts of borderline and actual antisocial behavior going on in nightspots in NY pre-2001, in out of the way parts of the city.

There are too many bars here that are less fun than funeral homes. So the concept of bar where you can just do what makes you comfortable is good.<br /><br />However, looking at the details of the idea I realize it is probably not going to be that way at all. Bottle service for the frat set seems pretty accurate. Or a sort of Disneyland version of a frat bar.<br /><br />The best case scenario is another Village Idiot. The worst case is Hoboken.
