Live Comedy at Stones Comedy Club

Before

0.4 mi · 7 min walk - Murray Hill

Open on the lower level of the terminal since 1913, under Guastavino tile vaults that carry sound in odd directions. Sit at the curved counter rather than in the dining hall and you get the same pan roast cooked in front of you in a steam-jacketed kettle. The Saloon along the side is the cheaper end of the same kitchen.

After

0.4 mi · 7 min walk - Murray Hill

The concourse ceiling is a night sky painted backwards, which nobody caught until after it was finished, and there is a dark patch left unrestored near Cancer so you can see what seventy years of tobacco smoke did. Down the ramp outside the Oyster Bar the tiled arches carry a whisper diagonally across the corner. Free, and open until two in the morning.
