I quess it depends on what type of place you work in The Clubs on the East End 
of LI are always jammed in the summer But you don't want to be out there in 
the winter. I'm in a well established location mid-island so we're busy pretty 
much all the time Though, with all the snow a little off right now.
Never worked in Manhattan so I couldn't say. Lorraine
