Do you consider NYC home?
I do consider NYC home in a sense. I’ve never properly had residence there, but I’ve spent a lot of time hanging around. I’m sure I’ll live there some day soon. I have tons of friends there and know it like the back of my hand.

What’s your favorite place to play in the city, and why?
I think the Bowery Ballroom is a great place to play because it’s an intimate venue and you can escape to the basement bar if the band on stage is crap.

Do you have any hangouts? Favorite bars or restaurants?
I hang around the Lower East Side and the East Village a lot, so I always find myself at Max Fish, 2A, and eventually the Mars Bar when I’m drunk enough to not be put off by the overwhelming scent of piss and vomit. I like to get groups of friends together to drink sangria and eat pasta at Max. That place has the best food.

What’s the first place you’d send a friend who’s visiting the city?
I would send ’em into Manhattan and just tell them to walk. That’s the only way to take in the city. There wouldn’t be a specific place in mind. I would just say take in the vibe and feel what NYC is all about… weird people doing their thing.
