Bedford Hotel, New York City

Advantages: The roads and rail connections leading out
Disadvantages: The roads and rail connections leading in

...in Bedford as being anything better than you would find in an average English town or city. Once you have left the pubs and if you haven't had your head kicked in, there are numerous nightclubs you can visit if you are inebriated enough. These range from small dimly lit dens which play all the latest hits from 1992 or more ambitious venues which play the latest sounds. These clubs are tremendous, either home to one man and his dog or on Saturdays full, so that it only takes half an hour to get a pint at the bar which costs twice as much as it should, and is usually half lager and half head because the miserable bar maid can't be bothered to do her job properly.
