Bars in New York in general

Newest Review: ... hang-out by New York Film Academy (NYFA) students (Union Square), as well as Lee Strasberg acting students! A cosy, red-coloured lounge, with upstairs and garden in the summer, this is a well-chosen bar for anyone, as the friendly staff (Ola -who married in Vegas?) will make you feel a part of this local with it's friendly service and many an interesting conversation as well as cocktails...

Revival, 15th and Irving, in the East Village, Manhattan. This is the frequented hang-out by New York Film Academy (NYFA) students (Union Square), as well as Lee Strasberg acting students!
