Everyone that lives in New York knows that out of town visitors means you're forced to go on vacation in your own city and spend next months rent money.  That is unless you have a parent come to town to pay all your expenses, which I did over the weekend.  

When my father comes to town I only want to take him to the best places, and there's only two that I know of, Sammy's Roumanian Steakhouse and The Slipper Room.  Sammy's was per usual: great Jewish food, great atmosphere, and great music by the one and only (still the one, the only) Dani Luv whom is the very essence of what healthy looking is not, but he's still hands down the best entertainer in the city.  Speaking of great entertainers in the city... We saw a magic show at The Slipper Room.  The Slipper Room is known for its cute hipster ladies doing their burlesque bits plus a few odd acts and a raunchy host.  

What a perfect combo!  

Well the odd act on this night was no let down.  The magician plugged an apparatus into the wall that electrified his whole body. He made a few sparks and awed the crowd. Cool trick.  Then he stripped down naked, and proceeded to light a kerosene soaked torch on fire via a spark that came soaring out of his fully exposed johnson.  It was this that gave my father an asthma attack from laughing.
