J: This place is fantastic!
Me: I know, right? They're playing Echo & the Bunnymen and The Cure. And I love all the art!
J: Apparently it's musicians from Northern England. Happy Mondays, The Smiths, Richard Ashcroft...
Me: Isn't that Tupac?
J: [...]
Me: You know, Tupac, he was from Manchester.
J: You'd never know it, would you?
Me: He hid it well.

(Full disclosure: a friend of ours is a co-owner of the Black Horse Pub. We each got a drink ticket on entry, and paid for the rest of our drinks last night out of our own wallet. But you can bet that if we lived in Brooklyn this place would be our new local.)
