Night Club · Bushwick · 51 tips and reviews
L: Such a fun club - perfect for dancing all night. Friendly crowd and beautiful, unique decor. Drinks are expensive so have a few at home first. It's buzzy early so arrive before 10.30 to miss queues.
Nicholas Newcomb: Ummmm. I think you have to be under 25 to get in.
Kristen Vasan: Burlesque, burners, human circus vibes, sparkles, unicorns, disco. You won't be disappointed

Music Venue · Williamsburg · 66 tips and reviews
Steven S: Venue sight lines - size. On the bad side - awful setup for getting out. Coat check , merch table all in the way of the exit. Open up the side doors for exit not just one set of doors
Dan Sohayda: After show coat check line wraps up the stairs. Be ready to go up there just to get in line unless you get there early enough. Metal detectors and pat downs are the norm.
Harry Wolff: This is currently one of the best music venues in the five boroughs. The acoustics are terrific and the layout is roomy. Definitely go here if you can.
Peter Cooke: For 🔥 vibes & an exciting time, definitely book for inside (NB on a night with live music👌🏽) but for a stunning outdoor chill-out, book outside.
José Paredes: Not many people there
Andrey Bagdasaryan: Вид на Манхеттен открывается отличный. А если взять кофе или чего перекусит, дак вообще кайф.
Jess Naldo: Standing in line for coat check is maybe the closest equivalent to purgatory. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone and suggest you don't either. On positive note, beers aren't bad! $7 for Stella. Hell yeah.
Monica Cullen: Tecante tall boy with lime is 6$ and the perfect beer. Screen in bar so you can see when the main acts go on. Coat check is 2$ an item.
Christy Merchant: Happy Hour until 8pm is the way to go if you're there early. $5 dollar Magic Hat drafts. Also, nicest staff around. Amazing space.

Italian Restaurant · Greenpoint · 29 tips and reviews
Courtney Klein: Great drinks, and all the appetizers were wonderful. The pasta is really a mark above with respect to other stuff in the area.
Stephanie Bono: The toretta de melanzane (fried eggplant and burratta) appetizer, super fresh house-made pastas and the frozen cappuccino are must haves.
Will Mahony: Wide selection of pastas, some of which were more enjoyable to order than to actually eat. Friendly service.

Svetlana Amirkhanov: Beet salad-mixed greens, baked beets, pear, caramelized walnuts and blue cheese make it so delicious
Emil H: The Hot Potato House is like a mushroom omelette made out of a potato latke. Tasty!
Chris Gampat: Get the massive thing of pig meat. And the latkes.

American Restaurant · DUMBO · 164 tips and reviews
Papa S: Tasting menu is always an adventure. They craft it 4 you & everything is fabulous. Josh (maitre d’) is so professional. James (somm) is the best. Foie gras. Tuna. Steak. Best in NYC.
The New York Times: One of the city’s best views, and excellent food still, after all these years. A sunset reservation’s best, with rabbit and dumplings.
janelle gunther: try the salted caramels

Jennie D.: If you get there & coat check is full, throw your coat on one of the ledges by the exits near the stage. One of the security staff will take it away to the lost and found & you can pick it up after ;)
Mer Ici: Music shows are cheap and generally great acts. Good for large groups. Coat check, and nice women's restroom.
star dionne: Coat check usually fills up fast

Event Space · East Williamsburg · 3 tips and reviews
Heidi: $4 coat check. Peak times to pick up coats are insane as there is no line, just a crush of people shoving you. Venue itself: sound system could be better and there are support beams blocking the view.
Tian Xie: Coat check is a nightmare.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: Circus-style tents set up as a nightclub! Sounds like a joke to me but says who?! I always have a great time partying here. Sound system and lighting setup are amazeballs. Drinks are really great too
