Ask for recs around the city, share info or gripe about the shit you hate.

Anyone have a recommendation for a tailor in Manhattan? Preferably upper east side. For pants in particular.

I've looked through yelp/google reviews but of course there's so many around that it's hard to filter out more than a small fraction. Drop a name if you've dealt with them and they weren't horrid

Any bar recs?

Ones I can think off the top of my head are The Ship which is a semi-hidden cocktail bar on Lafayette, pretty yuppie-filled but definitely a cool vibe for a date

St. Mark's has ridiculously cheap happy hours. 212 Hisae is a Japanese pub. Tight as fuck on space and it gets packed by NYU students but the bar food is pretty good for the price and you cannot beat the drink menu. $3, $4, $5 mixed drinks or cocktails. You can drink like a fish here and not break the bank.
You need a real ID and prepare to wait a while if you come after 7.

Also don't ever go to Ktown, not even to karaoke, as they only update the Korean songs frequently. I only go when I know someone who is working that night so I can get free shit. Everything is overpriced and watered down. I always pregame at the Food Court or Woorijip if I'm drinking in Midtown.

Essex Restaurant has a pretty good happy hour.

Don't stop in the middle of the sidewalk to be a mongoloid. If you want to be a tourist and stare at everything, move to the side. people have places to be and shit to do

Also, don't even bother with the chinese and africans on canal st selling fake shit, and don't go to times square, it's already cancerous enough as it is.
