Cafe Wha? in New York is a must-visit for live music enthusiasts. This legendary Greenwich Village institution has a house band that delivers an amazing performance, with 25 musicians rotating to create a lively and fun atmosphere. The song selection spans from Tina Turner to A-ha, Lady Gaga, and Jay-Z, ensuring a great night filled with diverse music. The staff are friendly and manage the chaos well, especially Forte, who gives a warm welcome at the door, enhancing the overall experience for guests.
The venue is tight and crowded, with tables close together, but the vibrant ambiance and great atmosphere more than make up for it. Reserving a space in advance is recommended, as it can get busy. While the limited space in the women's toilets can lead to long queues, the experience remains enjoyable. Guests pay a music contribution of €10 per set, along with a minimum consumption, making it a worthwhile investment for a memorable night out. Overall, Cafe Wha? offers talented musicians, good service, and an unforgettable experience.
