154 Ludlow St. NYC NY USA 212-533-7237 [map]

Googie's is a funky upstairs performance space at The Living Room, a lower East Side bar. New York Magazine says it "makes for an endearingly ramshackle performance space, complete with musty curtains, scattered holiday lighting, and an ivory-white baby grand." Extreme casualness ensues. We've been there a couple of times and surprisingly, seen some great acoustic acts. There's another stage downstairs, there are huge sound-sucking curtains everywhere, and the bar's in the front where you can get a drink in relative quiet. Each act plays one set, passes the hat, and out they go. If we can make it there . . .
