Well known for the "Shhh" policy to give respect to the songwriters. My all-time favorite, have come here for many years. A little hard to get into now, so check the website and try to get a reservation a week in advance. Otherwise, you can stand in line and try for a walk-in.

Very nice venue for live music. It's small enough that there is no bad seat. Food can be a bit pricey IMO, but it's very good.
