"This is the West Coast's CBGBs. The venue gets extremely hot, so dress appropriately. Place yourself somewhere in the middle of the audience to get the best sound." - Roy LaManna, Music Entrepreneur Leggi tutto.
"The shows upstairs are more enjoyable because the sound from the upper part of the venue bleeds through and drowns out the band on the 1st floor." - Roy LaManna, Music Entrepreneur Leggi tutto.
"Grab an iced coffee on the way in. You have the option to watch the bands while sitting (and drinking your coffee) or standing, like you would at a normal venue." - Roy LaManna, Music Entrepreneur Leggi tutto.
"Sit in the area that stretches to the back of the stage. That way, you'll be right above the band as they play and you'll have no distractions." - Roy LaManna, Music Entrepreneur Leggi tutto.
"Get box seating so that you'll have a view of the band instead of someone's head." - Roy LaManna, Music Entrepreneur Leggi tutto.
"Go downstairs. Order a beer as the mixed drinks are served in small cups." - Roy LaManna, Music Entrepreneur Leggi tutto.

"Record store with an awesome venue in the back. I was here for the Robert Delong show last year." - Roy LaManna, Music Entrepreneur Leggi tutto.
This is the joint created by Patsy Lancieri, Grimaldi’s uncle. Patsy’s changed owners in 1991, but the thin-crust, coal oven pie at its original East Harlem location is one of the best in the city. Leggi tutto.
Want to feel like you’re feasting next to the Sopranos? Welp, this is the place. Leggi tutto.
Prohibition may be over, but the bar remains as intriguing as ever. Pro tip: Take in the large art collection and toys hanging from the ceiling as you sip on a gin rickey. Leggi tutto.
Go for the glorious garden and traditional old-world Northern Italian food. It’s still owned by the same family that started it in 1906 and is still just as romantic. Leggi tutto.
Pretty much every classic American dish ever created was invented here. If you don’t want steak at NYC’s oldest steak house, then get fancy with an order of Lobster Newburg. Leggi tutto.
This is where New York pizza was born. The pizzaiolos of olde New York learned their craft from Mr. Lombardi and his coal oven before they opened their own spots. Leggi tutto.
Keep it local and head to Barbes. Eclectic and off the cusp live music most every night, readings and film showings. The drinks are classy and the people are real. My favorite is Slavic Soul Party!
Great intimate venue for music. Decent selection of craft beers and wine at the bar.
