Sarah Aili: 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!
Marc Urselli: Best place in NYC to see avantgarde experimental new and exciting music! 100% music, for music lovers by music lovers. No distractions. Just pure 100% music. I love this place!
