Sure the live music is great, but everyone is really just getting…“lit?”

After the passing of CBGBs, Lit Lounge and Mars Bar have been duking it out ever since to be the new iconic hang in The East Village. What Mars Bar has in true grit, Lit Lounge boasts in rockability. On Saturday nights, get down to the DJ spinning The Cure Remixes and Massive Attack, or descend into its subterranean club to catch a live set. On any given night, I’ve made out, gotten drunk, or wallflowered at this bar. My point: you can go wrong any way.

“Fights at Lit? No, that never happend, man. It’s not my fault that some guy and his chick have some weird private arrangement and I’m in the middle of it, unbeknownst to me. Have you ever seen a hipster throw a punch? It’s kinda sad. His girl was no better: she makes out with me and then wants me to defend her against her own boyfriend. I just showed up to dance and hear some music. I didn’t ask to be anyone’s Romeo. Hipsters are turning into maniacs in this town – foaming-at-the-mouth, knife-wielding maniacs.” -Matt Fried, December 2007
