I'm not promising much since I haven't taken cards from anywhere in a while...hence many cards from places that are gone, but here's some random NYC stuff I found:
Divine Bar - we used to go all the time, are we too old or is it gone or are we over it? There was one of the east side and then they opened a "new" on in the theater district I think. I know they had fun wine tastings even tho I never went...I always thought they'd be fun. Didn't we have a sorority reunion there 1000 years ago?

Delish and a little chocolate oasis right near Union Square (unlike Chocolate by the Bald Man which is also great but hardly an oasis!).
