Gentlemen:

      We refer to the public offering (the "Offering") of the following
securities (collectively, the "Securities") of Urban Cool Network, Inc. a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), as described in the Registration Statement
on Form S-1:

      o     1,495,000 shares of common stock of the Company $.01 par value (the
            "Common Stock");

      In furnishing our opinion, we have examined copies of the Registration
Statement and the Exhibits thereto. We have conferred with officers of the
Company and have examined the originals or certified, conformed or photostatic
copies of such records of the Company, certificates of officers of the Company,
certificates of public officials, and such other documents as we have deemed
relevant and necessary under the circumstances as the basis of the opinion
expressed herein. In all such examinations, we have assumed the authenticity of
all documents submitted to us as originals or duplicate originals, the
conformity to original documents of all document copies, the authenticity of the
respective originals of such latter documents, and the correctness and
completeness of such certificates. Finally, we have obtained from officers of
the Company such assurance as we have considered necessary for the purposes of
this opinion.

      Based upon and subject to the foregoing and such other matters of fact and
questions of law as we have deemed relevant in the circumstances, and in
reliance thereon, it is our opinion that, when and if (a) the Registration
Statement shall have become effective, as the same may hereafter be amended; and
(b) the Securities to be sold for the account of the Company for full and
adequate consideration as contemplated in the Registration Statement, then all
of the Securities, upon correct execution and delivery of proper certificates
therefor, will be duly authorized, validly issued
