Entertainment
Great place to catch live music with a more chill vibe than Broadway. It's usually a round robin set-up with 4-5 artists and/or song writers on stage taking turns singing songs. Recommend buying tickets ahead of time (should only be $5-10) and planning to eat dinner there (minimum food/drink order of $15/person).
