Marie's Crisis @ Grove & 7th [RANK +4]

A NYC Gem. Marie's Crisis (Le nom éntant un troisieme entendre (someone help us with our horrible french) -- the original owner was named Marie, the joint has an etched French/American revolution mirror backing the bar, and the building was once occupied by Thomas Paine). One of the few if only remaining piano bars left in the city, Marie's is where you want to be if you love a broadway musical. Sunday's and Monday's are best as shows go dark and people with Actual Talent show up to Sing.
