Shecky's

Visiting or live in or near New York or Los Angeles? Ever try Shecky's.com?

I bought the Shecky's book when I lived in L.A., but the site is exactly the same. You can check on a place ahead of time and find photos and brutally honest descriptions of thousands of bars, clubs and restaraunts. You can find exactly what kind of night you're looking for by choosing different keywords: live music, food, sports, swanky, gay, dog friendly, romantic, cigarette friendly, etc. They also offer VIP tickets to places that are extra tough to get into!

You can also get great info on upcoming events, catch specials for those girls' nights out, or get suggestions for large parties and a wild night!

If you happen to pick up the book, try this- Close your eyes, open the book and point to a place. Go there! I've had some pretty adventurous nights and found some extremely cool places that way!
