...conveniently located minutes south of downtown

The Sunday before I left Bizzy and I went to see Enon and Le Tigre at Webster Hall. Unfortunately my camera ran out of batteries so I didn't get any pictures. We did see Adrock though, standing in the VIP section with Kathleen Hanna before the show. And I got to talk to Toko Yasuda from Enon. She was very Japanese and polite.

The night before I left, Bizzy, Laci, Kate and I went to a speakeasy called Milk and Honey. It's very secretive and fancy. First you have to call a private number and request a reservation. The number is super-secret and you can only be invited by someone who already goes there (in my case, this was Laci). Then, when you get to the entrance (a small unmarked doorway on the Lower East side) you have to ring the bell for someone inside to look out and buzz you in. When the door opens, you walk through a double layer of black velvet curtains which make it impossible to see into the bar from the street. There are only six tables inside. All the bartenders look like supermodels and are dressed in vintage thirties clothing. A bartender comes to your table to tell you what fresh fruit and other ingredients they have that day and you select what kind of alcohol and fruit you'd like made into a custom cocktail. My first drink was raspberry and ginger with vodka, followed by vodka with crushed blueberries and lime. The drinks are expensive ($12 each) but delicious.
