fun time in NY

We are visiting New York for some fun time. We will be staying for 4 days. Any advice on cool bars and nightclubs appreciated. Both of us have kids, and so heading to NY to let our hair down without the kids!! also a couple of ideas for good places to eat - trendy and good food. We are staying in Times square. Thanks

First: Get the heck out of Times Square. Your choices there are limited to the usual tourist sights. If you really wanna go to another Hard Rock Cafe, so be it.

I%26#39;d try looking into Williamsburg in Brooklyn. Its one stop into Brooklyn [Bedford Ave] on the L train. It%26#39;s a great nabe for pub hopping and for dining. Here is a list of a variety of neighborhood pubs: www.freewilliamsburg.com/bars/index.html

Plus, if you are there Friday night or Sat/Sun afternoon, you can visit the Brooklyn Brewery, which also has weekend tours on Sat/Sun. Its a great neighborhood hangout as well. Here%26#39;s their site: http://www.brooklynbrewery.com/

As for food, check out the TA site for recommendations. Seek and ye shall find.

Go down to the village and just kind of wander around

until you see something that suits you. The village

is not all that it used to be but is still fun for

those visiting. I agree get out of Times Square.
