Hookah Bars NYC- Review part 5

Ok so hey there! We want to welcome you to our favorite hookah and shisha review site on the planet! This is Hookah Bars NYC. We are a hookah and shisha review site dedicated to reviewing hooka and shisha bars across New York City. I am an independent hooka smoker dedicated to smoking as many hookas and different shishas as possible. I travel around new york and find the best spots to go and smoke hookahs any night of the week. Todays hooka review will add another new criteria, the most low key and relaxed bar available in New York. Now mind you that I have not been to all of the hooka bars in New York yet but out of the hooka bars that I have been to so far, Café Khufu is by far the most low key. Mind you that I went there on a weeknight around eleven o’clock and it was pretty much dead. I really do not know how this place survives in a place like New York City but I did like the extremely mellow atmosphere and vibe that is within this weird Egyptian shisha bar. This shisha is so so and the hookah quality is mediocre like I said the vibe is very mellow and I don’t think you will find many other patrons there if you go there on a weeknight! Well that is it for now as our hookah and shisha review will come to a final end. I am going to start doing one encompassing review a week and I will leave the other days for individual hookah bar reviews.

Hookah Bars NYC- Cafe Khufu Part 2

Cafe Khufu is a shisha and hookah bar located in the east village on east 3rd street between first and second avenues. Honestly i was not impressed by the hookah or the shisha quality of this bar. They do not serve alcohol and the one drink minimum is kind of annoying. i really dont know how this place stays in business. The vibe is very mellow and the service is ok. There is an Egyptian vibe in this place with egyptian artwork that covers the walls. The walls have a makeshift cheesy feel as they are painted to look like they are large stones from a pyramid or something. The hookah s that they use are in ok condition but they certainly do not have specific flavors for certain hookas. they place was pretty much desolate so i gues that was pretty authentic like i was in the desert or something. The Shisha flavors were average although they did not carry too many of them... The brand they carry is soex shisha which is an herbal shisha with no nicotine? how could this be. im not sure i got the correct info on their brand of shisha. i think that i definitely got a buzz from the tobacco that i smoke this night and i find it hard to believe that the shisha that is used in the hookas in Cafe Khufu is herbal no nicotine alternative. They do have belly dancing at this hookah bar once a week and that sounds pretty cool! unfortunately i do not think that i will be going back to this bar. as i said in the last post, the hookah and the shisha became unbearably sweet within about 15 minutes of smoking their hooka. the upside to their operation is the lemon wood coals which provide an authenitc hookah smoking experience. Have Fun!

Hookah Bars- Cafe Khufu

This Hookah Bar is located in the east village on 3rd st between 1st and 2nd avenue.
Not much on the outside. bobmarley playing on the inside. very calm and quiet hookah bar and shisha vibe. interestingly painted walls. no alchohol. one drink minimum. the mix flavors add 2 dollars. sowax brand hookah tobacco. 13 dollar hookah. Three person maximum per hookah whether they are smoking or not. white grape hookah. the owner is very nice. we got a pot of ginger tea that was very good. the tea was 3 dollars a person. the hookah and shisha became to hot and too sweet to the point of harshness within about fifteen minutes. the lemon wood coals were a nice touch. we will bring you more about this east village shisha and hookah bar tomorrow afternoon! this hookah bar was fine for a cheap spot to bring some friends on a school night. it is not the kind of place you would want to go on the weeken. the vibe is very mellow and the shisha flavors are not that good. for this area however it is cheaper than the other hookah bars. there is an egyptian vibe inside of the place and like i said before the owner is a very sweet man. he will entertain you with shisha and hookah smoke bubble which he blows from soapy water into a bottle with a hole in it.
