Don't pay to go up in the Hancock.
If you want to go up high, just ride the Hancock elevator up to the Signature Room on the 95th floor, get a table by a window and order a drink.
Also, get a copy of The Reader and see if there are any good shows going on at The Hideout, Schubas, Thurstons, The Double Door, Subterranean, or anywhere else. Always somebody playing somewhere just a L ride away.

Ahh, Cleo's! I used to live a couple doors down from there on that block (next to Beltran's). I miss stumbling home from the bars...
