This MacDougal Street venue is located under and connected to the Olive Tree Cafe – like a real tree. Black wooden tables have paper covers to draw on and write poems about NYC, cozy Tiffany-style stained glass lamps and the Chaplin movies on the walls make for a nice atmosphere. The menu is a melting pot – you can even get some Polish and Mexican stuff. Every night there is a comedy gig, featuring their celebrity Dave Chappelle. To enjoy the jokes you should read local newspapers and know the news. If you have no wish to twist your brains and pay 20$ excuse yourself to the bathroom – it's shared by both floors and is in the basement. On your way back wait for ten minutes for the gig to end.
