The Village Voice

is still a reliable ear to the ground
Try to get twofer tickets and see a B'way show. Predictable, maybe, but
it still sets the standard. 'Rent' has wide appeal, I think my
daughter has seen it 5 or 6 times. Also look at BAM, (Brooklyn Academy
for the Arts) Its getting rave reviews for this one:

In Manhattan the Lower East Side is still the hip place.
Stanton-to-Rivington Orchard-to-Ludlow. The cutting edge is progressing
downward, Ludlow-Canal-Division. Williamsburg's north side is of course
the Lower East Side annex and for many, the hippest of all. The
Meatpacking District is more tourist and B&T (bridge and tunnel)
pretentious. Same with the 'Chelsea' and "Flatiron' clubs. Should
probably steer clear, but it depends what you want.
If you are in town a few days I would love to meet you. I am off Monday
the 12th all day (which is today already), Tuesday eve (tomorrow), and
all day Wednesday.
