First time - I'd much rather stay somewhere hip, but the date is a bit of a square in that regard.
Thanks for suggestions everyone, will check them all out.
Side note: I tend to romanticize cities in my kind and be let down in reality. I assume Brooklyn/Harlem/Bronx as the best bet to be able to stroll out and find a rad local show or something unique. How do y'all avoid that whole 'symbolizing gentrification' thing when strolling around, or is that kind of just a given now?
