Maxwells Bar & Restaurant
Neighborhood: New Jersey/Hoboken

1039 Washington St
Hoboken, NJ 07030

Ken O. writes: Maxwell's is like a finely coiffed mullet - business in the front, party in the back. In Maxwell's case it's Bar/Restaurant up front, intimate, small, tight, crowded rock 'n' roll venue in the back. The bar is good, the food is fine, but if there's a…

Spuyten Duyvil
Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Williamsburg - South Side

359 Metropolitan Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11211

Benjy S. writes: I couldn't have made a better choice than spending the entirity of the last night of my first visit to NYC at Spuyten Duyvil.

It was pretty empty when I arrived. I was on my own, so I sat down at the bar and surveyed the menu, finding few things I…

Bowery Ballroom
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Lower East Side

6 Delancey St
New York, NY 10002

Pam S. writes: Darling Bowery Ballroom,

First and foremost, let me apologize for not making you my first concert venue review. I know I should have, and for that, I shall repent. How could I not have given you the 5 stars that you so deserve after showing me some…

Southpaw
Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Park Slope

125 5th Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11217

Evan D. writes: I'm confused. I have been to Southpaw three times, and every time, it's like a completely different place. I'm not talking about the actual place, of course. It's always kinda crappy and run-down (but in a good way, like your favorite dive bar), a…

Bread Bar at Tabla

11 Madison Ave
New York, NY 10010

Judith G. writes: I finally landed a coveted reservation at Tabla, the restaurant.

I have been trying to get in here, and something always went awry. But this time, my cousin from Houston was here, so I was determined to show him a fabulous NYC restaurant.

However, as…

Kashkaval
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan/Theater District

856 9th Avenue
New York City, NY 10019

Ameena G. writes: When I first discovered Yelp, I think every 3rd review seemed to be about Kashkaval - and with good reason, this is a fabulous little find!

We were a fairly large group of girls who hadn't seen each other in a long time and were having a reunion of…

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts

70 Lincoln Center Plaza
New York, NY 10023

Steve M. writes: All I can say about this place is that it's incredible. Even in a city like NYC it stands out as an oasis of culture that really can't be rivaled by any other few square blocks in the world!

You all might know it for its three anchors, the Met Opera…

Shalel Lounge
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper West Side

65 W 70th St
New York, NY 10023

Scott B. writes: Dudes, the entrance to this place is on the north side of the street nearer to Colombus. You have to go down this staircase that looks like it might lead nowhere. I tell you this because it was WAY NEGATIVE DEGREES last night and I was walking up…

Iona
Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Williamsburg - South Side

180 Grand Street
Brooklyn, NY 11211

eliza b. writes: hooray for the garden out back!

Bembe
Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Williamsburg - South Side

81 S. 6th Street
Brooklyn, NY 11211

Nadja M. writes: Dear Mom,

Last night I went to a club called Bembe. The place was packed with sweaty. hot undulating bodies writhing to the sounds of percussion-heavy, afro-cuban latin, infused music.

At first the bouncer wasn't gonna let my friends in with me…

Little Giant
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Lower East Side

85 Orchard Street
New York, NY 10002

Rozz N. writes: It's been a minute y'all and I apologize for my long ass hiatus. But the Rozzer is back with her latest review! (My wallet has also been frog-ass tight so my poor butt really couldn't afford to go anywhere that was review worthy anyway!)

But here it…

Upright Citizens Brigade Theater
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Fashion District

307 W 26th St
New York, NY 10001

Kate K. writes: The UCB's Annual Del Close Marathon:

Imagine this:
You arrive at a theatre in NYC's hip Chelsea District to see a line extending down the block of people all clamoring to see the country's hipest, hotest, funniest improv comedians.

"Holy crap!" You…

Burp Castle
Neighborhood: Manhattan/East Village

41 East 7th Street
New York, NY 10003

Katie Q. writes: Hundreds of Beers in an impossibly small bar... they call down to the cellar on a radio to bring up the good stuff. They have the world's strongest Belgian beer and your tree-hugging Vermont suds all under one roof. Do not go looking for a…

Nuyorican Poets Cafe
Neighborhood: Manhattan/East Village

236 E 3rd St
New York, NY 10009

P K. writes: Almost three years ago, I was in here with some friends, trying to psych myself up to read one of my poems. The poets were pretty intense that night. Then I get a call from my friend in Cali telling me that I got this position I had interviewed for…

Milk and Honey
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Lower East Side

134 Eldridge St
New York, NY 10079

Srini V. writes: Sasha Petraske is clearly a strong proponent of mixology, having opened Milk & Honey, and then Little Branch. Sasha has mastered Cialdini's advice in "Influence", in that he uses "scarcity" to good effect in securing Milk & Honey's reputation as an…

Village Vanguard
Neighborhood: Manhattan/West Village

178 7th Ave S
New York, NY 10014

Frank W. writes: Fifteen years ago if you'd asked me what places I would want to hang out at if I ever moved to New York, one of the first places I would have mentioned was the Village Vanguard.

I was a big fan of John Coltrane and Miles Davis, and tried to see as…

The Other Room
Neighborhood: Manhattan/West Village

143 Perry St
New York, NY 10014

Sam P. writes: Love it, love it, love it. Classy, stylish, yet unpretentious, this hidden little treasure on Perry Street is the perfect place for glass of wine or beer (all they have, but a GREAT selection) and a great conversation. The decor is dark is cozy,…

Calle Ocho
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper West Side

446 Columbus Ave
New York, NY 10024

The Room
Neighborhood: Manhattan/SoHo

144 Sullivan St
New York, NY 10012

Julia N. writes: First of all, can I stab the people who failed to mention the fact that this place is beer & wine only? Brian D, I'm looking at you. Now, that in and of itself is not inherently bad - I love both beer and wine - but not knowing led to disastrous…

Birdland
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan/Theater District

315 W 44th St
New York, NY 10036

Judith G. writes: Probably my second favorite jazz joint in town. Fantastic acts. Even the food is very good.

Bungalow 8
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Chelsea

515 W 27th St
New York, NY 10001

Sam P. writes: Boy, was I ready to hate this place. Ready to call it overrated, tired, and unworthy of all the hype. Ready to say that Amy Sacco's reign in West Chelsea had come to an end with the demise of Sex & The City, and that like so many other places hyped…

Bourgeois Pig Cafe
Neighborhood: Manhattan/East Village

122 E 7th St
New York, NY 10009

Rudy's Bar & Grill
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Hell's Kitchen

627 9th Avenue
New York, NY 10036

Phil M. writes: Duct-taped booths. Cheap beer. Popcorn. Hot Dogs of questionable age and composition. And a smiling pig statue that welcomes you inside.

I am so glad I live near Rudy's.

There are several beers (from $2.50 - $4) on tap, comfortable (if somewhat…

Bouche Bar
Neighborhood: Manhattan/East Village

540 E 5th Street

The Mercury Lounge
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Lower East Side

217 E Houston Street
New York, NY 10002

Rebecca H. writes: As I write this review I am nursing the hangover induced by last night's visit to this locale. Further, I truly fear that I lack the qualifications to review a music venue, as I'm not totes into live music and thus have not frequented that many…

Verlaine
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Lower East Side

110 Rivington St
New York, NY 10002

Tracy A. writes: I was introduced to yelp at Verlaine's by the amazing and alluring Roderick A. I found a great bar and a new internet obsession. Only fitting this is my first review.

Smalls
Neighborhood: Manhattan/West Village

183 W 10th St
New York, NY 10014

Ben E. writes: Used to come here frequently years ago when it was BYOB and at a different address. Back then, it was a $10 cover charge and the place was rockin'! Lots of young folks cramped into a tiny dark space. A first love.

Things change: they closed down and…

Divine Bar
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Midtown East

244 E 51st St
New York, NY 10022

Adrian P. writes: I loved the setting. Downstairs is the bar counter, surrounded by exposed brick, wood rafters. Upstairs there is a seating area with waiter service. Of course, a wine bar so there is an exceptionally long wine list, but also great specialty beers…

Ryan's Daughter
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper East Side

350 E 85th St
New York, NY 10028

Terrel C. writes: Not you're typical Upper East Side bar and that's probably why I like this place. The attitude here is minimal and the jukebox is killer.

Brooklyn, NY 11222

Stage being auditorium style having…

Motor City Bar
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Lower East Side

127 Ludlow St
New York, NY 10002

Phil M. writes: Ms. Pac-Man, pinball and an automotive theme. Good happy hour, and a fun, hard-drinking kind of crowd. There's a good chance that Jack Daniels is a best seller here. Plus, you can buy someone a drink who isn't there -- they keep track of it on a…

Arlene's Grocery
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Lower East Side

95 Stanton Street
New York, NY 10002

Lindsay K. writes: Once you get over the $8 admission to see your college roommate's boyfriend's band, it's all uphill.

The venue itself is quite small, with room for about 1 band on stage and 100 fans to buy over priced drinks. The sound quality is good considering…
