Horus Cafe:
Despite an extensive menu of mixed drinks, booze is not the main attraction at this laidback but hopping bar with over 40 flavors of hookah tobaccos ranging from double apple to piña colada. Wise patrons will forgo anything in a spill-able glass and pull up to one of the huge wooden chairs or a pillow on the floor next to the fireplace and toke on exotic tobaccos while savoring the flavor of a wood-smoked burger or kebab from the café’s cheap and tasty menu. A helpful staff stands by to assist the hookah-shy or inexperienced, and while you won’t get high on what you’re smoking, you will be on cloud nine from the awesome atmosphere and footage of belly dancers shakin’ what their mamas gave them on the projection screen.
Horus Café has been a favorite of mine since I started coming here. I first smoked hookah in 2002 and only had tried the common flavors. I was pleasantly surprised when a man arrived at my couch with a pineapple, which has become a signature of theirs (real fruit based hookahs). Unlike other places in NYC the coals were always refilled with no extra charge. On any night of the week, you will find a different crowd of people looking for either a cool pregaming spot, a hype way to spend a night, or a my night sucked let’s make it better after party. Not to mention the menu offers a variety of food and mezzos and you can’t go wrong with any of them. I’m born and raised in the NYC and having been partying all my life, rarely have I found a comparable spot.

I brought my brother and cousin here when they were here visiting from Sweden and we had such a great time the first night that we had to come back a second. We smoked hookah, drank, and enjoyed the belly dancing. The only bad thing I can think of is that it gets very loud and its hard to have a conversation with whomever you are with.
