YOU ROCKED………….

nice list, thanks always a great help to find good places. a really cool new place my girl and I discovered that just opened. seems pretty well unknown for now. The norry at kampuchea. well designed cocktails leaning towards asian flavors with a great background structure. the space is pretty cool. looks like a subway station.
So glad you update this. you have no idea how handy this has become!
Just because you said that, I just updated the list. So many new places were missing and a few closed places remained–I still had East Side Company Bar listed instead of Painkiller. Thanks for the kind words!
