Nuyorican Poets Café
A legendary club started in 1973 by Miguel Algarin, a Puerto Rican poet, the Nuyorican is home to hip-hop performances, poetry slams, plays, and film and video events. It's a piece of East Village history, but also a vibrant and still-relevant nonprofit arts organization (supported by proceeds from the cafe).

Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts
Found inside Pace University, this space hosts the TV show Inside the Actors Studio. It's also where you can see world-class ballet, live music and Broadway stars in more offbeat and esoteric plays – and at (comparatively) bargain prices.

Joyce Theater
A favorite among danc junkies because of its excellent sight lines and offbeat offerings, this is an intimate venue, seating 470 in arenovated cinema. Its focus is on traditinoal modern companies such as Pilobolus and Parsons Dance, which make annual apperances. Its other, more intimate, branch, Joyce Soho, occupies a former firehouse in SoHo and has dance studios and a performance space that seats just 74.

St Ann's Warehouse
This avant-garde performance company took over an old spice mill and turned it into an exciting venue for the arts. Now the cavernous space regularly hosts innovative theater and attracts the Brooklyn literati crowd.
