3. not really

if you're VIP you can smoke in the dressing room but if you're not friends with the band that's probably not a good idea. They do let you out to smoke in this sort of enclosed pen at the front of the building.

6. My cousin's in Phantom Tolbooth which is opening

but I called Irving Plaza and thet claim they have a little outdoor area for smokers; however I was unconvinced and am not real familiar with the venue.

4. theres, officially, no smoking ANYWHERE INSIDE in NYC basically.

that includes outdoor gardens, and enclosed sidewalk seating areas.

you may be able to in the VIP section, but i don't know how strict security will be.

I do know some smoking bars if you wanted...like Karma on 2nd ave btw. 3rd and 4th
