Bar On A

After our favorite bartenders left Vasmay Lounge, we were searching for a new place to spend too much time and money pretty much for the better part of 2006. We loved Angel at Niagara, but she disappeared without a trace (at least from our angle of view).
The search could be over. While we were looking for a place to spend Happy Hour before Elke's birthday dinner, we stumbled over this place on Avenue A that is officially called "Bar On A", but abbreviated BOA, which inspired a snake theme of the interior. (The name, BTW, hides the place in the Internet - you can't find it in Google.)
BOA remarkably serves food, which is a rarity in NYC bars. So far we didn't try it (the times when we went there, we were on our way to a more or less fancy dinner), but it's a fair selection of bar food at very reasonable prices.
The best in BOA, however, is Yvette (pictured in her Halloween kimono) and her excellent music selection. Her playlist looks like one of the tapes I mixed back in the eighties. Not the cheesy American stuff, but the good music. Now, Yvette probably hasn't lived yet when those songs were recorded, but still - we love her music taste.
We will have to go there a couple of times more, but this could be our favorite hang out for the next months. More on this on NYDiscovery.info.
Bar on A, somewhere on Avenue A and around E 10th St (I couldn't Google the place)
