by John McCree
We will all concur that New York City features a wide variety of restaurants, entertainment, and nightlife venues to see for the locals and tourists. Have you been to almost all of the places in this city and now you are thinking where you should go? Of course you have hookah on your mind or you wouldn't be here. That being said, let us take this opportunity to fill you in on some of the hookah hot spots in NYC!
New York City is full of hookah bars and lounges that are decorated with a Middle Eastern taste. Velvet cushions and mint tea normally come with hookah in most of the hookah bars. Many places offer a range of Mediterranean snacks for example Hummus, Baba Ghannouj, and Sambousik. Many places also offer a complete meal, which is followed by mint tea and a hookah. Calm as well as noisy and upbeat, you'll find all sorts of hookah bars in NYC. The calm environment gives you the opportunity to have long discussions with your friends, while the upbeat environment will give you a taste of the "NYC life." One thing that is certain is you will get a great Middle Eastern experience.
Certain places are really expensive while some give hookah at really affordable prices. Also, if you decide to smoke the tobacco from a fruit, for instance an orange or a grapefruit, expect to pay the price for this amazing concoction! You can get hookahs for $12-$30 each.
