Baby’s All Right in Williamsburg is one of the better music venues in the city. Always a cool indie show going on there. Avasha from Lowertown is at the door scanning tickets sometimes. Just bring a friend because the walk+train stop can be a little sketch.

i’ll mostly list small or medium-capacity venues that host relatively cheap shows!
mostly 18+ or all ages:
- trans pecos
- mercury lounge
- bowery ballroom
- tompkins square park or maria hernandez park sometimes hosts free shows
occasionally has 18+ shows, but is 21+ most of the time:
- baby’s all right
- market hotel (usually earlier shows that start at 7pm aren’t 21+)
- elsewhere
- le poisson rouge
- gold sounds
highly recommend going through each of the venue’s websites and sifting through the show listings to double check! also the oh my rockness website and bandsintown are great places to check for shows happening tonight in your area and stay on top of shows!

I’ve probably been to 6 or 7 shows here in the year since I’ve moved to NYC.
Their booking is stellar (outside of the all the metal). Particularly, I like getting to see groups that would be opening for bigger artists in much larger venues. Lot of NY based artists will also l throw release shows there like Chanel Beads, This is Lorelei, and Hotline TNT.
There is good outside space and bar space for hanging out between sets. It’s also pretty close to the L and buses back to Bed Stuy.

My god everything is experienced better this way. Stop looking at guides, walkthroughs, endings explained (my least favorite), even the blurbs on the back. Such a rare opportunity in this time to go into something without knowing anything about it, yet so rewarding. To be pleasantly surprised or blown away, to have no idea what’s happening, to find that you really didn’t like it, an opinion formed on your own.. nothing is more valuable
