A friend will be in New York City at the end of August and was wondering if there were any places for such activity in the city or surrounding areas; Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut...
I recommended the Rodeo Bar for live music in the city...
If your friend has an extra $100,000.00 and is willing to sign a loyalty oath there are a couple corporate parties with modern country bands in the city the last week of august that Ed Gillespie can get him into.
If money is an issue then there is always C&W music and stumbling at Hank's in Brooklyn each and every sunday night.
