I'm looking forward to going to One if by Land, their menu looks great.

We decided to fly to Atlantic City for the night (24th) and then drive/bus into NYC. Is there any recommendations on places/resorts/great stuff to see in Atlantic City?

their bldg (or next door?) was in danger of collapse or something & they had to shut down for structural renovations - that was a couple of years ago. why would you be surprised that it's still around?

'it' spot - simyone makes for a good lounge, good pick up for a 3rd or 4th for group sex if you're more irish pubby type - coppersmith's is great and surprisingly local despite being in midtown eat = the little owl...i love this place, used to be my regular when i was in the nabe... despite being surrounded by west village/meatpacking pretentiousness it remains intimate, friendly, and casual.. hotels = the london nyc..location sucks if you're a downtown hipster emo, but you get a suite (ie french doors separate living room from bedroom = no neighbors hear your group sex) for the same price as a nice hotel room...i've been to other london hotels in other cities, and ny is the only one that carries these 'suites' as regular rooms 'hip' spots to avoid since they're overdone or just hype - smith&wollensky, tenjune, stk, the standard, pink elephant if you want a nice park stroll and find central park too daunting or crowded check out the high line park
