Get Wild with The Black Lips!

Location: Lower East Side, NYC
Band: The Black Lips + Quintron & Miss Pussycat
Venue: Bowery Ballroom
Food: Three of Cups
Drink: Whiskey Ward
Miscellaneous: Sugar Sweet Sunshine

With wild stage antics and hot licks, the Black Lips play garage flavored punk rock that is raw and fun to watch. Joining them is Quintron & Miss Pussycat who are musicians, inventors, and puppeteers. What I like about Three of Cups the most is that the food is classic Italian fare like Pizza made in a wood-fired oven, risotto, pasta, while also offering more exciting dishes like lamb stew in a barolo wine reduction, served with potato gnocchi. The atmosphere is relaxing, bordering on romantic. With a name like Whiskey Ward, it’s expected that they deliver the goods, which lucky for this bar, they do. Whether it’s Scotch, Bourbon, Whiskey, or Single Malts, they got em’ along with a pool table and a damn good jukebox. Who doesn’t like cupcakes? Sugar Sweet Sunshine has one of the best in the city. With 10 different kinds, it’s hard to beat.
