Marie's Crisis Café:
Can’t pay the rent? Can’t find your bottle of hairspray? Feel like there’s a phantom haunting your room? If your crisis involves a show tune, then come to sing about it at Marie’s Crisis, where you’ll find les miserables just like yourself who enjoy belting out their favorite Broadway songs. And since we all know that we kinda sorta (but not really) sound better after a few drinks, a one-drink minimum charge at this West Village piano bar ensures that alcohol lubricates everyone’s throats. Fridays and Saturdays attract a mostly straight crowd, but the rest of the week features gays and lesbians channeling Norma Desmond. Regardless of the night, there’s never any shortage of drunken divas singing about their crises.
