I've basically got bernard sumner aging syndrome, and I look like I'm 16, eventhough I'm 19. Just to get into 18+ clubs while I was living in Boston, I had to show both my state ID - I don't drive yet - and my college ID.
boston is notorious for its tough underage drinking policy, but in NYC there are a bunch of irish bars you can go to that won't card you. of course, many the ones i know are in the parts of the city the tourist guides tell you to avoid (north of 96th street and in alphabet city), but so few places card in the city, unless you're on the upper east side, financial district or somewhere like times square (where you won't be hanging out anyway because its lame), that i wouldn't worry about it. best to drink in the village or upper west side. but don't worry about being carded! it's new york for christ's sake! if you get carded somewhere (which is unlikely), the next place will let you in. trust me! i did it for three years!
That's.. absolutely awesome.. I ought to take the bus up to NYC more often. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it up to NYC for that weekend since I work every day during the weekend, including Friday nights.
