    Best Sunday Night Open Mic in the East Village? Yes. And if you're the luckiest, Mickey will sing one of her songs. My favorite is/was Kentucky Derby by Mickey. And Classy Wednesdays...!

    They have a number of boards games available, but it gets too crowded to play anything on weekend nights.
