I go to the NY reasonably often. Neilin the Nica bartender is quite an eyefull, tall dark and built to last. My roommate was just about to go out with her (he CLAIMS (joke, Kotigre)) when he settled down with a GF. I believe she's available but I suspect she's not going to be easy to impress. The other bartenders are nice, but some have boyfriends/husbands.
Luckys, AKA the piano bar, closed faster than a bad Broadway drama. (it was open a long time but close without warning) I was taken totally by surprise and I have seen some of the regulars there hanging out at the New York now.
The New York, like the piano bar, has it's share of working girls lurking in the background. Most don't care much for the BM but go there if they can't score a client at the NY.
By the way, the only freebie I ever got was in the NY. A working girl took a shine to me (god knows why) and ended up going home with me for free (taxi money excepted). There are 'regular' girls there too, though, so be a bit cautious about asking price right off the bat...
Anyway, that's all folks.
