Neighborhood
New York went all in on hi-fi bars, the Tokyo-style rooms where a vinyl selector and a wall of vintage speakers matter more than the cocktail list. Here are the ones worth your ears.
Where to sing in New York, from $1-a-song Chinatown stages and live piano rooms to Koreatown private suites that stay open until the trains get weird.
Seventeen places to drink skin contact, pét-nat and funky Jura in New York right now, from twelve-stool counters to backyard hangs with a pool table.
Twenty rooms under 500 capacity where you can still stand ten feet from the band, pay less than a movie ticket and see someone before the rest of the city catches on.
A red room above an East Village bar, a poetry church turning sixty, a Crown Heights bar that books future prize winners. The best readings in the city, most of them free.
The dance floors worth your Saturday, from Queens techno bunkers and Brooklyn warehouses to tiny rooms where the DJ is two feet away and nobody is filming.
