Jazz, board games, billiards, ping pong, tabletop shuffleboard – is there anything that Fat Cat doesn't offer? Not really, unless you're a stickler for windows. After waiting in the inevitable line that's queued up at the front, pay the (nominal) cover and climb down the stairs to this basement playground. Sprawled over what seems like a ridiculous amount of space for a New York bar, Fat Cat draws all kinds of locals for wholesome-ish fun, brought to you by buckets of PBR and good old-fashioned competition. During the week, jazz legends mix-and-mingle on stage with amateur performers for late night, after hours shows that are equal parts inspiration and music industry networking.
