yes, Palpali gaamle...haami gaamle gaamle...nepal ma ni chimeki...amrika ma ni chhimeki...yeta tira pasne kaile hau? kodo ko roti ta chhaina...aanta ko roti ra gundruk ko jhol khwamla ;) Palpa ko chukauni pani bhanya haina? Tam tayaar! ;) Anyway, yes, Monkey Temple's owner is a good friend of mine...next time jaanda...tell him (if he is there), ET sent you, and ask for a free SAKITINI. If he refuses the "free" part, well, he is a business man! lol there's another much bigger, much cooler bar in midtown that is owned by a Nepali, Palpali...if you get a chance, go visit SNAFU bar at E. 47th betwn Lexington and 3rd Avenues. North side of 47th, closer to LEX. milyo bhane...go on a saturday...they have seusy female bartenders doing seusi dances on top of the bar! They dont strip fully, though. But, hey! After a few drinks, you can have your wildest imagination entertain you! You've gotta be lucky, though...I was told they dont have those always. Anyway, the ambience is cool...with a realxing lounge with dim lightts and sofas at the rear end of the bar...and a pool table downstairs.
