Not Manhattan, that's for damn sure. I'm from Brooklyn. My buddy and I took the train up here because he wanted to sneak in. No idea where he heard about a party like this even existing, though.

I would like it a great deal more under different circumstances. [ A non-answer if ever there was one. She follows it up before he can make the observation: ]
