What to do and see in Chelsea, New York (NY): The Best Concerts & Shows
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

There was not a bad seat in the house for our latest visit to view Soledad Barrio's Nacho Flamenco. It was pleasure to view this master dancer and the new talent emerging in her company.

Went out on Tuesday night with a group of ladies, had some beers and few snacks. The place was busy and lively. Easy to get there, organized, walked to our seats by concierge. The venue is intimate with great seating layout so everyone can have a excellent view of stage. Comics were all good in different ways. Was a great night out.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
Comix is New York's hottest new comedy nightclub featuring headline comedians and established New York-area comics, the best of cutting edge alternative comedy, improv and sketch comedy as well as music and variety programming. Perfectly situated in Manhattans booming Meatpacking District at 353 West 14th Street (just east of Ninth Avenue), Comix draws upon the rich experience of going to the theater uptown but brings with it a decidedly downtown attitude, not to mention a very now decor.

This place is a wonderful bar with a throwback/retro vibe. It's sharp and classy but relaxed and fun at the same time. Good cocktails and drinks, very good service. Their karaoke nights are fun - it is piano karaoke where there is a live piano player and you are provided the words to the song you want to sing. Unlike actual karaoke, the lyrics don't "move" (light up or appear) as you go, they are just the lyrics on an iPad, so you have to know the song somewhat to know when to sing or not sing. The crowd has a great time with this and everyone is very supportive of everyone else's efforts. The crowd was a good mix of young and middle aged and even some older folks. I felt more like I was in Los Angeles or even Las Vegas than NYC. While the place isn't what I'd call "big" it does seem much roomier than most NY bars, I never felt cramped or crowded in any part of the bar. I think that also contributed to it feeling more like LA or LV than NY. I'm planning on returning and using this place as a go-to when I am not sure where I want to go or take friends. It has enough charm and class that even on a night where there isn't karaoke or live music it is fun and comfortable while not being a dive like so many other bars feel.

I can’t say enough about Sleep No More! My sister and I have now been 5 times- 2012, 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2020- we always have vastly different experiences from each other and we always see something new! After going so many times, most recently I stumbled upon a scene that I hadn’t seen since my first visit. It felt like deja vu, or remembering a fuzzy dream! I also saw multiple scenes I hadn’t seen before. The dancing is incredible! I saw a man literally spin on his head and another man Spider-Man climb up to the ceiling and drop down. It’s insane! Yes the story line is hard to follow, but that’s the fun of it! Follow your intuition and choose your own adventure. Do what feels right because as they say “fortune favors the bold.” Just because there are 50+ people following Macbeth from floor to floor doesn’t mean you need to run after him too. Explore the floors on your own and you never know who or what you will find. We have had personal or one-on-one experiences every time, and it’s always different. Last time, the matron watched the finale with me, held my hand, and kissed me on the cheek. As always, I am hoping to come back again! Wear comfortable shoes, contacts if you normally wear glasses, and wear something light because it is hot in there (even in winter)! Enter with an open mind and you will have a truly unforgettable night.
