A new bar there, Remote Lounge, marries old-fashioned flirting with new-fashioned flirting. The place is wired to the hilt with closed-circuit TVs, surveillance cameras, joysticks and instant messaging -- so you can scope out (spy on) people and send them little messages instead of reciting the dreaded "Do you come here often" or "I've lost my phone number, may I have yours" pickup lines that drove you out of the bars and onto the Internet in the first place. An NYU student put it best: "It's a legalized version of stalking."
