I had a great time at the 55BAR. I'm 66 years old Japanese. I live in Chiba near Tokyo Japan. I love jazz music. For end of June, I and my wife visited New York. As for me, the second and my wife were first NY. There were two object of the trip of our NY trip. The one of the object was to visit 55BAR in the west village, and another one was city sightseeing and shopping, that my wife hoped. I can't expresss it in my English well, but write it about a wonderful impression in 55BAR which we visited. I visited 55BAR in the same time two years ago, but then 55BAR came to be unforgettable for me. And the reason because the atmosphere of this 55BAR is very warm, and having been homey, Ms.T. did very kind cosideration. I was able to be relaxed very much. This is nice for traveler above all. And 2 years later, I visited 55BAR again. This time with a wife together. If the state near 55BAR before two years, it was same feeling. I was full of feelings of the nostalgias and opened the door. Ms.T.welcomed us very much. I was excited. The atomosphere of the 55BAR was the tatally same as the front for two years. Very friendly regular customers (Fivers). The perfomance of the Van's band was a thrilling and fantastic. And beautiful Ms.T. I and my wife had a great time at 55BAR. We were really happy meeting Ms.T. We came to like NY more and more. The distance of 55BAR is very far from Japan Chiba, but I feel it very near. I want to visit 55BAR with my wife sometime again. Arigato 55BAR, Arigato Ms.T, Arigato Fivers and Arigato NY.

Pros: Wonderful Beautiful people
