  • Karma is one of many local bars downtown on first avenue that sort of blend into the scenery as you walk by. I've lived in New York for many years, and it was only recently that I actually went inside Karma, and it wasn't even to get a drink, but to smoke a hooka. I thought I knew all the hooka bars in the city, but apparently Karma just now caught my attention, and I may not ever go back to my old favorite hooka places.

    I was on a date that night and bored. When he suggested meeting a mutual friend at Karma, I gladly agreed for the extra company. The mutual friend never showed up, but I was just as happy discovering my new favorite hooka bar. Like all others places, the lighting is low and the seating offers comfortable couches (but not so comfortable low wooden chairs) along the walls. If I were having a better time on my date, this would be the perfect place to get a table in the back corner and make out. In fact, I recommend that, on your next date, you get a hooka for one and share that with your date, assuming that you're ready and willing at that point to swap spit. In fact, sharing a hooka is a great way to initiate the first kiss, because you're already halfway there. The chocolate flavor is especially good and light.

    After finishing our smoke, my date and I wandered downstairs. We could see that it was getting more crowded downstairs with people dressed in black leather and goth makeup. Alternative music filtered upstairs from downstairs and, thankfully, helped to drown out the cheesy 80s music that my date like so much upstairs. You can tell a lot about a person by their choice of music and Hall & Oates was never my thing. Despite liking the environment upstairs, I could do without the pop music revival. My escape finally came when we descended the stairs and into a whole new world complete with an S&M stage show. There was a real sexual energy in the crowd that felt more like a sex party than a local first avenue bar. I would have loved to stay more because this was my scene and music, but my date was a dud, so we left after a few minutes.

    My old boyfriend liked to say that he loved that I looked really wholesome and sweet on the outside, but I fucked like a whore. Karma is like that too. Don't be deceived by it's unoriginal décor, for the downstairs holds a surprising jewel. I will definitely keep going back to Karma, but with a date who knows how to have a good time.
