50 year olds in NYC
 

Celebrating 4 of us having 50th birthdays in New York City next month......what fun bars are there in Times Square/Theatre District area????

Are you looking for a trendy, upscale bar or a relaxed Irish-pub-style place? <BR><BR>I often bring friends to O'Flaherty's on West 46th between 8th and 9th. It's a large, fun bar...good for all ages. It has darts and a pool table and sometimes live music in the back room.

All women? Stealing an idea from another thread, how about seeing &quot;Naked Boys Singing&quot;. What a hoot! It is not in the theatre district, however.

As Suzanne points out, &quot;fun&quot; means different things to different folks, so here's a range:<BR>The View (a restaurant) at the top of the Marriott Marquis at 45th &amp; Broadway rotates &amp; provides...a view. I believe they have a bar up there but don't remember if it affords the same view.<BR><BR>The bar in the Algonquin Hotel (44th between 5th &amp; 6th) is woody/clubby &amp; famous<BR><BR>46th St. between 8th &amp; 9th Ave is called &quot;restaurant row&quot; &amp; has tons of places in all price categories. <BR>Joe Allen's is a famous theater hang out with a good bar scene. You can also eat at the bar &amp; may see some celebs.<BR>Don't Tell Mama is also on this block &amp; is a piano bar.<BR>Chez Josephine (42nd st. between 9th &amp; 10th aves.) is a french bistro with a bar. They have a piano player &amp; the place has a &quot;cage aux folles&quot; type atmosphere (not gay so much as theatrical)<BR>Cite &amp; Cite Grill (51 st. between 6th &amp; 7th aves.) are steakhouses with big bars (big pickup scene at bar at the Grill-you didn't say what you were looking for!) Have a blast.

Thanks for the suggestions....Naked Boys SInging and the casual bars sound like us!!!

Nancy: Have you been to NYC yet? Did you go see Naked Boys Singing? If so, what kind of audience was there?

This sounds perfect for 4 =50 yr old women:<BR><BR> Menopause The Musical<BR>Playhouse 91<BR><BR>The hilarious celebration of women and The Change, this original parody chronicles the meeting of four women at a lingerie sale at Bloomingdale's with nothing in common but a black lace bra...and memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, hormones, not enough sex and more.
