"Ten Bells is a wine bar with good small plates near Bowery Ballroom that’s a great meeting spot before your show if you’re waiting for your friends to trickle in from their various commutes. Their Happy Hour will also make you less likely to empty your wallet on overpriced beer at the show: they have $15 wine carafes and $1 oysters deals every day until 7pm." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
