"Rainbow flags ripple above a cohort of voices belting classic and contemporary Broadway hits at this historic Greenwich Village piano bar. The world’s oldest acoustic sing-along piano bar sits was once a brothel, boarding house, and eventually, a 1930s-era cafe owned by namesake Marie Dumont. New ownership in the 1970s ended food service to make this space primarily a bar, and at some point, singalongs started catching on and the bar became a proudly gay space, only playing live show tunes every night from 6 p.m. until the early morning. The cash-only space has no cover, but a two-drink minimum is encouraged, as is generous tipping for the piano player." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
