The Duplex:
People, people who need show tunes, are the luckiest people to have this renowned West Village landmark. The best night to come here is really any night of the week. At one of the city’s liveliest piano bars, open mic begins at 9pm and attracts some pretty good singers in their own right, as well as a few in their own mind. Tired of listening to amateurs? Then head upstairs to the cabaret room, which regularly features Broadway stars. Or grab a table outside. Not only can you smoke, but you’ll be able to take your own singing on the road—literally. Seated at the heart of the gay Village, you’ll be able to sing all sorts of love songs to those passing you on the street.
