The Tank New York
Quirky nonprofit theater space for low-brow comedy, experimental musical theater, dance labs, and film screenings. It’s a little rough around the edges, but at least the beer is cheap.

Bowery Ballroom New York
Besides the unbeatable indie lineup, unobstructed views, great acoustics, and a spacious standing-room setup make this divey music venue a citywide favorite. A downstairs bar means you can drink to your heart’s content while waiting for your preferred musical act to take the stage.

Brooklyn Bowl New York
Rock and roll — literally — at Williamsburg’s new bowling alley/Blue Ribbon restaurant/music venue all in one. While chugging back Brooklyn-brewed beer, take note of this cool detail: The sixteen-lane behemoth is the first LEED certified bowling alley in the world.

Brooklyn Academy of Music New York
America’s oldest performing arts center is totally exciting and progressive (imagine that!). The creative campus includes an indie cinema, cafe, and theaters where live music, dance, film, and theater collide. A shining cultural landmark.

P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center New York
Adventurous offshoot of MoMA houses works from emerging artists in the old public school hallways and classrooms. Known for exploring new genres and trends and playing host to the popular (and danceable) Warm Up party series throughout the summer.

Nublu New York
By day, a record label. By night, a laid-back nightclub where anything goes (and usually does). Live music performances and DJ sets happen in the middle of the dance floor. A very energetic, worldly crowd comes to sweat, sing, and sway to the hard drinks.

Joe's Pub New York
There’s a good view from every seat at this intimate concert and dinner theater space. Emerging artists from cabaret, jazz, and indie scenes sweat it out for your pleasure. Fair warning: Slight subway rumblings may interrupt a much-anticipated acoustic set.

Mercury Lounge New York
Super-crowded concert space for truly devoted fans of the newest acts making it in NYC. Squeeze your way to a plastic-cup-contained beverage but down it before elbowing up to the stage. Claustrophobes beware.
