Axel Tosca's Cuban Jam

Before

0.3 mi · 6 min walk - Greenwich Village

Nine and a half acres with a fountain in the middle and a marble arch at the north end, and on any warm afternoon several musicians working different corners of it at once. The stone chess tables on the southwest side are in use most of the day. It is the closest open ground to every venue on Bleecker Street.

After

0.4 mi · 7 min walk - West Village

A basement bar on Grove Street where a piano player works through show tunes and the whole place sings along, whether or not you know the words. Drinks are cheap and the crowd is a mix of Broadway people and anyone who wandered down the steps. It runs until 4am every night of the week.
