"Towards the end of typical wedding receptions, the DJ usually plays a few crowdpleasers, and the whole room sings along while swaying back and forth with their arms around each other. It’s a nice moment that makes people forget just how forgettable the rest of the evening was. Marie’s Crisis in the West Village will give you that same feeling, but at any time of day or night. Crowd around the piano in this basement bar, and belt out show tunes with a room full of people who don’t seem to have any inhibitions, regardless of how much or little they’ve had to drink." - matt tervooren
