I feel like I could be biased since they fixed my computer and that is their job right? Maybe I should be harder on them. I wonder if they had to take my iMac and ship it off for repair if I would only give them 4 stars. Fortunately for them that didn't happen. They get 5 stars! I'd like to give 5 stars to Vin, the mac genius who helped me. He was faaaaaabulous!
Best Italian food in New York! Enough said.

If your favorite band is playing in the city at a venue about the size of Blender Theatre, keep your fingers crossed that they play Bowery Ballroom instead. It looks like a cool place but looks are deceiving.
Because it was once a movie theater there is an awkward slant in the floor. This doesn't seem like too much of a problem at first but things quickly become rather unpleasant standing on this slope in heels. I could tolerate this if the sound was excellent. Unfortunately this is not the case.
After the show you are quickly escorted out which is not uncommon after most shows. However, on one occasion, we were told we could go downstairs where there is a bar. Within 10 minutes of hanging out downstairs we were being escorted out. This is only after several of my friends had bought drinks. Well they could stay until they finished their drink but everyone else had to leave.
My advice to you, if you if there is a show here that you simply cannot miss, wear your chucks and then leave the premises immediately.

I sadly have to downgrade my rating. The sound quality has considerably diminished lately. New sound guy? Probably. It's still usually a good time.

If Maxwell's were in NYC it'd be my favorite music venue. You'll get better sound and a more intimate setting from the same band you can see the next day in NYC. Usually worth the hassle to get to Hoboken as long as you're not standing behind the 5'6" guy with a huge afro.
If you're thinking about opening a small restaurant in the city, take a trip to Il Corallo Trattoria to learn everything you're NOT supposed to do.
1- Don't hire a crazy rude hostess.
2- Don't refuse to seat a party because two people are on their way when only a couple of tables are occupied. (If you do decide to do this there is NO reason to be rude about it!)
3- Don't intentionally seat said party next to another couple when most of the tables in the restaurant are NOT occupied just to prove a point.
4- FIX problems don't make them worse.
5- Don't let the waiter argue with your customers especially when said waiter is absolutely wrong.
5- Most definitely do NOT have the hostess step in during an argument.
I can't even comment on how the food was here. I was only left with a nasty taste in my mouth from the lousy "service". I'd give this place 0 stars if I could.

I love going to Keyspan Park. Every seat provides a great view of the field. Tickets are cheap. Food is cheaper than you'll find in a major league stadium. Great view of Astroland beyond left center field. (Enjoy it while you can.)
In addition to seeing some potential future superstars, you can occasionally catch a current Met playing a rehab game here while on the DL.
If you exit the lower level of the store and walk past the elevators you'll find the Brooklyn Baseball gallery. It's very small. Much of the displays are replicas but for a buck it's worth a walk thru.
A couple things to note... this is Single-A ball. Don't expect to see a major league caliber baseball game. Also, it is extremely kid friendly. If you don't want to see silly games and hot dog races between innings, a Cyclones game isn't for you. And maybe you should consider lightening up! Be a kid for a day.

Also, great for place to see a concert. And no, I didn't see Daft Punk here.

If you're in the area go to Compton's where the food is better the service is faster and the prices are cheaper.

When in 'toga this is the morning after place for my friends and I. It's perfect for nursing a hangover and/or running on too little sleep when you need to prepare for a 3+ hour drive home. The food is awesome which you would never expect by walking in there and seeing the dated wood paneling covering the walls. The best part of the decor are the completely random photos, taken by someone who thought they were being artistic with their 35mm automatic camera, hanging on the wall for sale. Grab a dum dum on your way out from the candy basket! Who doesn't love dum dums?
