More cabaret!
1. Marie’s Crisis
Do you secretly sing Sondheim in the shower? Well, it’s time to let your freak flag fly. Head to Marie’s Crisis, the West Village favorite where you can belt “Merrily We Roll Along” with like-minded Broadway buffs. Marie’s often has a long line, but once you’re in, it’s showtune heaven. No cover. 59 Grove St., near Seventh Avenue South; 212-243-9323
2. Feinstein’s/54 Below
In the basement of Studio 54 in Midtown is 54 Below, an intimate-but-luxe space where Broadway royalty can croon after hours. Everybody from Patti LuPone to the cast of “Newsies” has taken its ’20s-looking stage. It’s the perfect way to continue your after-theater night. Tickets vary. 254 W. 54th St.; 54Below.com
3. Mimi’s Italian Restaurant and Piano Bar
At Mimi’s, it’s not just the pasta that’s saucy — the veteran staff is, too. And the kitchen is open till 3 a.m. It boasts the unforgettable song stylings of Chicken Delicious (left, seated), a sometimes-masked pianist who’s a musical — and comic — genius. (They call the delicious cheese bread “crack.”) No cover. 984 Second Ave. at 52nd Street; MimisPianoBar.com
4. Joe’s Pub
Tacked onto the Public Theater, this sexy venue plays host to many subversive and brilliant Village talents including Cole Escola, Bridget Everett and Noel Carey. Occasionally a Broadway star such as Jonathan Groff will play too, trying out some out-ofthe-box material. Tickets vary. 425 Lafayette St.; PublicTheater.org — Johnny Oleksinski
