I love Slate. I use it as my venue for my birthday party with friends. People can play pool or ping pong, or sit back in the comfortable lounge areas and just eat and talk. It's also a good happy hour place with coworkers. The drinks are a little pricey, but I really like the ambiance and service. I didn't know about their weekday lunch specials! Great tip!

This is a great place to watch hilarious shows, like the free Sunday night Assscat performances which often feature fun folks like Tina Fey or Amy Pohler. The other shows are also reasonably priced, but nothing is as fun as the free Sunday night shows. The theatre is small but intimate, and you can get cheap Pabst here. Definitely go here!

I saw a recent CCL show with a large group of people, ranging in age from 11 to 55...EVERYONE LOVED IT!
The performers were incredibly sharp, witty and professional....the venue was small, so everyone in the audience had the opportunity to participate. I could not believe the level of entertainment we got for such a reasonable price...beats anything else we've done in months.
Pros: Hilarious, Intelligent, Authentic

This is one of, if not the first, yoga school in New York. It opened when yoga was first getting established in the United States in a space that used to be Peter Max's studio. Still full of good vibes. The teachers favor Anusara style and include a nice mix asanas and meditation techniques. The original founder still teaches classes. This is the real deal with knowledgeable teachers. Not like so many yoga schools where the "teachers" are "certified" with only a couple of months of training. A great place for beginners who want to start with a strong foundation; and also for more advanced yoginis. Alas, not as cheap as it used to be.

Broadway Dance Center can be overwhelming. The lobby is always crowded as are the classes, it's hard to get individual attention or feel like you have room to move in some cases. This is especially bad in the summer, when the place has its summer programs and is overrun with girls on school trips thinking this is the one true place to study. It's a bit odd. On the other hand, the facility is nice and large, they have an informative website, an array of dance styles and levels and good teachers. You just have to be willing to brave the chaos. Also, their free membership card gives a 10% discount at many dance related shops.

I've been taking violin at Florentine for 2 and a half years, and my teachers so far have been really great. My violin teacher actually went to Princeton and my friend who takes cello has a teacher who went to Julliard and Yale. Crazy! They're a little bit more expensive than other Chinatown schools, but less than the rest of the real world. But the teachers are really good.
Oh yea, my little 9 year old cousin went on a field trip to Carnegie Hall last night with her Florentine teachers and said she wanted to write a review (which made me want to write a review.) here she is:
6 stars. We saw two famous violinists and a big orchestra. Carnegie Hall was grand and beautiful. My teachers are smart and very nice.

Good: I most loved the care and concern for the children as people. I loved seeing the children open up and brighten their eyes when the instructor arrives.. Bad: I most disliked that there aren't enough of these individuals in the other parts of New York!. Improvements: I would love to see more of these NAYBs around all of the five boroughs. They are priceless..
