Eat, Drink, Do | $$$$$
On pretty much any night of the year, you'll find at least one inspired, compelling performance happening at this iconic theater (and yes, pub food and drink can be had, too) a short hop from the Astor Place Cube. Named for Public Theater founder Joe Papp, the grand brick building opened for business in 1998 to support emerging artists working in music, theater, and cabaret. So grab a cocktail and something from the comfort food-heavy menu and get ready to discover the Next Big Thing.
