I may get chirrosis, but no way lung cancer
I have been in New York City now two weeks, and I have been out every night except two. 12 nights of 14 is certainly a record. It is quite enjoyable that New York's smoking ban means that I can go out and return healthy and with clothes that don't reek of burned tobacco bits. It seems that among the clubgoers, most support the ban. For one, it's a bit of a relief from the peer pressure when smoking is illegal.
It's now 2AM and there is a big helicopter with a spotlight circling around over Harlem... probably somethin' goin' down. Meanwhile, I just got back from 203, a bar down on Spring Street in the Village. 203 is a bar with no sign, no name, and big curtains drawn over the window. It's part of a current trend among bars to disguise themselves so that only "people in the know" even know that the place is a bar. Actually, the velvet ropes and bouncers kinda give the place away. It was somewhat gratifying to step outside and hear a hot blonde pleading with the bouncer to be let in. New Yorkers don't go out until midnight or later, so if you turn up at 9pm you can enjoy "exclusive" clubs sans bouncers, sans crowds, sans begging.
UPDATE: The helicopter circling around at 2AM was because of a shooting some dozen blocks away.
