If you’re looking to get away from the city without leaving the city, head over to the East Village on Avenue C where you will hear the sounds of Frank, Tony and Etta coming from the newly opened Verso Italian Bistro.

This past weekend a group of friends and I went out to celebrate our friend James’ birthday. Having finished drinks at The Irish Exit in midtown around 9:30, I convinced our group, which included the lovely Sarah Shaker of Bright Lights, My City to head over to this hookah lounge that I’d been hearing a lot of buzz about.
Off the beaten path in the Lower East Side lies a vibrant Mediterranean lounge with dim red lighting, tables surrounded by candlelight, food as exotic as their belly dancers and hookahs featuring flavors such as fragrant crushed grape to the lite Caribbean infused coconut: Le Caire Lounge
