Shisha Spot- Luxor Lounge

for smoking a shisha out of a hooka in the west village, there are a few places one can go. Both places are owned by the same company, luxor. luxor has two hookah bars on the same strip on macdougal between west 4th and west 3rd. There is luxor lounge and luxor cafe. these are good spots to smoke a fine narghila and sheesha. they have interesting fruit flavors and options for a deluxe hookah with the bowl head made out of a hollowed piece of fruit. the sheesha in this place is ok. the hookas are a little over used and a bit harsh. their pricing for deluxe hookahs is in my mind a but over priced and they are not excellent. The luxor lounge is the larger of the two with a beer and wine list that goes well with their flavored narghila. one draw back of the lounge and the cafe is that they require all customers to purchase at least one drink. also on the weekends sometimes in the middle of smoking your second or third hookah they will ask you to leave and point to their one hour maximum limit if necessary sign. this can be very discouraging especially if you are with a date and enjoying your time smoking some fine shisha out of one of their mediocre hookas

Hookah Bars- Karma

if you like to smoke shisha out of a fine hooka, and you like to be at a happening place in nyc on a thursday, friday, saturday, or even sunday night, then karma is the hookah bar for you. it is very hip and posh with great drinks and bartenders that give a nice pour if you are drinking scotch or something neat. they have a great selection of flavored shisha and a wide variety of hookahs for large parties or small gatherings. the hookas are moderately priced at around 16$. the feel and atmosphere of this hookah bar are stand alone some of the best in nyc. when you walk in you go through a pretty dark red velvet curtain and you instantly get the aroma of a mixture of many shisha flavors. you can see the thick smoke all around you from the plumes emanating from dozens of smoking hookahs. the music early on in the night is of a mellow electronic feel and as the night progresses the electronic music subtly gets heavier. the quality of their hooka is an industry standard, nothing too special but they work none the less. you have options of a few different styles ranging from a short hookah to a tall hooka with anywhere from one to four hoses. all around, this is one of the best hooka and shisha spots for smoking in nyc based on quality of the shisha and amosphere alone.

Hookah Bars- My First Time

The first time i went to a hookah bar, i was in new york city. i was visiting for a weekend with my family and i had plans to hang out with my friend sacha. when she told me what the plans were for the evening i was so shocked that i became speechless. we were going to a hookah bar to smoke some shisha! i became ecstatic and kept on asking her, "wait you mean there are public spaces and bars to smoke hookahs?" what a great idea! so we were off to the east village where we stopped in a lovely little, dimly lit bar with low couches and pretty curtains separating everyones smoking entourage. The bar was called Karma. i loved this idea of the hookah bar name from the onset. Although the creation of hookahs are decidedly a middle eastern cultural concept, and karma is a sanskrit term derived from ancient india meaning "action," i figured this was the perfect action to engage in on a friday night in nyc. this posh east village bar was a perfect fit for the type of lifestyle i wanted to pursue in nyc. the cultural concept of hookahs and the relaxing act of smoking some fine shisa was a perfect match for my relaxed personality and my desire to engage in traditions of other cultures.
