Love At First Sight
I love the crowd and the action, had a great the time, and it was really crowded.
Is the Cock Shrinking?

Rauchy fun time...hope it fits in the Hole
This East Village dive was packed with hot and frisky Abercrombie types. NYC laws (decency, smoking, you name it, did not seem to apply) The sometimes closed, sometimes dark back room got it into trouble at times over the years. The owners finally closed the Ave A/12th St location and have re-branded their other bar (formerly "the Hole" on 2nd Ave) as "the Cock." Let's hope it fits.
