Top 10 New York Joints For Rock Music (According To A British Newspaper, Publishing A Brooklynite’;s Article)

This article on the leading 10 venues in New York for rock music caught my eye, not due to the fact they’re all in Brooklyn — the region’s been ground-zero for live music for at least the past decade — but for the fact that they’re all located proper about my apartment. In reality, I could very easily just roll out of bed, skip a shower, and throw on whatever was lying around on my floor and be inside at least three of these bars within about five minutes (and, come to think of it, would likely look like I fit in just perfectly).

And like any fantastic traveler knows, to know a destination is to know its music, and there’s no far better way to get the vibe of Brooklyn than its music scene. For those visitors looking for the ideal shows although in town, pick up a copy of the L Magazine (kind of like the Village Voice — but excellent) or pay a visit to OhMyRockness.com for every day listings and recommendations. And for food? Feel cost-free to quit by my place. I have a wide selection of cereals and uncooked rice, perfect for a lengthy night out. Oh yeah, I’d also add MonkeyTown as a number 11 to the list. I’d describe it as this: Warhol on an Absinthe binge decides to go into fine dining.
