I LOVE the LES, I just miss a beautiful little coffee shop that used to be on Avenue A (where I fell in REAL love - for a while anyway) before the cafe (and the woman) departed to make way for gentrification. I miss the Mercury when you could just walk in and have a drink maybe poke your head through the curtains to see the band warming up - lately the club is fronted by a line waiting to enter through velvet ropes. Thank God for Holiday's. It might be a little far North to really be the LES, but its still got the best juke box in town and has the beautiful aire of rock and roll. If there were one thing I could take to a desert island? It would still be The Lower East Side - I don't know how I would get it to a desert island, but the LES is an oasis on this island. P.S. had a great time new year's a Waikiki Wally's - it may not be so hip, but it was fun!
