"After you put your name in Via Carota, head to Marie’s Crisis. It’s a little, divey bar in a basement just a few feet away, and, inside, there will always be a pianist there playing show tunes. That’s what you come here for, and everyone is encouraged to sing along. Even if you don’t consider yourself a Broadway nerd, however, you’re bound to know at least one song, and your date will be impressed that you know of such a place where Christmas lights are up year-round, and half the people seem to know one another." - bryan kim
