92nd St Y
The Y is a bastion of literary greatness (as well as a venue that caters for music and dance), with its Unterburg Poetry Center hosting frequent readings, plus a Biographers and Brunch lecture series on Sundays, featuring top-shelf authors. Recent appearances have included Paul Auster, Margaret Atwood, Joan Didion and Michael Chabon. Almost all the big-name readings sell out, so if there's a particular author you want to hear, reserve well in advance.

The Duplex
Pictures of Joan Rivers, apparently the patron saint of The Duplex, adorn the campy walls of this West Village townhouse. It offers up great cabaret in the small back room, as well as open mic opportunities after in the front room. If you don't like warbling, you can dance to jukebox tunes upstairs.
