☰Marie's Crisis

Marie's Crisis is a subterranean piano bar on Grove Street where the pianist plays Broadway show tunes and the patrons — theatre professionals, tourists, devoted regulars — sing along with unselfconscious enthusiasm. It is one of the most distinctive bars in New York, operating at the intersection of queer culture and Broadway obsession since the 1970s. Cash only, no cover, arrive before 10pm to get a spot near the piano.
