There's good reason Rififi's weekly variety show has been running so long. The low key show - a mix of striptease, magic, comedy, acrobatics, draws a constantly changing mix of New York's top burlesque talent to the stage creating a totally new show every week.
This picture is a virtual image of the New York City skyline as it looks at this very moment.
Hints
Looking for a wine bar you can take a date to, a place to play pinball, a gay bar with a young crowd, or god forbid a place to play beer pong?

Craft Night
Every Monday night Williamsburg's Stain Bar hosts PAINTstain, a "talent optional" craft night. Dabble a bit - sketch, sculpt, knit, write, whatever strikes your fancy. Bring friends and create a collaborative work, or just sink deep into a comfy couch have a drink and listen to the live jazz.
Smut
A respectable array of New York City writers gathers at Galapagos every Monday for this strangely highbrow/lowbrow weekly smut, erotic performance, reading, and discussion. The quality of the readings and performances vary wildly, but at its best this can be really, very amusing stuff and the Galapagos space, large with tall ceiling and an easily accessible bar, makes an ideal venue.
