So Heaven and Hell are essentially the members of Black Sabbath minus Ozzy with Ronnie James Dio back on vocals like he was during his tenure with the band from 1979-1982. They’ve reformed for the Bible Black Tour which features music from their new album The Devil You Know and have Coheed and Cambria joining them for the ride. Burger joint in the front, upscale lounge in the back, the menu at Pop Burger includes basics like 2 pop burgers for $5 for a quick fix or if your lounging, the likes of tuna tartar with soy truffle jus ($15). The Gaslight Lounge, a great hotspot bar in the meatpacking district, is dark and cozy while affordable for the area. If you don’t know Amy’s Bread, when you order a sandwich at a café or restaurant in the city, ask where they got the bread. There’s a good chance it’s from Amy’s because she’s one of the best bread makers in the city.
