Hi my fellow nerds,

I'm kinda new to New York, but I heard about Max Fish. A friend was talking about it. It is on your list, so did some of you guys ever go there and is it worth it? I'm just wondering because it is kinda far (faaaaaaaaaaar) away from where I live right now.

I used to like it but they've been having a lot of problems with the police recently and were closed a few times. I don't know if they re-opened. I may need to take this off the list.
