While the lineup for 2K Sports Bounce Tour features one of my fave hip hop acts The Cool Kids, Q Tip is the main attraction as his new album The Renaissance finally shows off his skills the way you were hoping after he went solo. One of the best Japanese restaurants in the city, Yama, serves up some of the hugest and freshest portions of sushi, while not being as expensive as you think. Close to Irving Plaza, 119 Bar is one dive where you can get cheap drinks, play pool, and hang with friends while not standing out or being bothered when you’re a sweaty mess from dancing after seeing Shadow and Chemist perform, and I mean that in a good way! If you’re bored and early for the show, head over to the four floor Barnes & Noble to look through magazines and get a cup of coffee.
