Lower East Side, in Manhattan
The Box
Cabaret · 189 Chrystie St
A Lower East Side cabaret built around dinner and live performance, with the act taking precedence over any tidy definition of theater, club or restaurant.
The Box occupies a two-story brick building on Chrystie Street dating to 1935. Its own events material describes the place as a restaurant and theater with two bars and a stage.
The setup is deliberately intimate and performance-first. Cabaret, music and theatrical spectacle share the bill, so the draw is less a fixed genre than the possibility that the show will go somewhere stranger than expected.
