favorite nyc bar?

Since there is little chance of anyone picking a place above 20th street, Im going to go with an uptown sentimental favorite of mine, "Fez" on 85th and Bway.

In Brooklyn I like "Franks" in Fort Greene. What sealed the deal for me was when the DJ went from the Whispers "And the Beat Goes On" into the Talking Heads "Once In A Lifetime" and the crowd didnt even flinch.

Ive only been there a couple of times, but both times it was a blast. Turnipmonster, you are a musician? Ever been up to St. Nicks Pub?
