nights they have live music. On weekend nights, you’ll see the club goers straggling in. A little further down is Buzz Coffee, in the mall with the Virgin Megastore. Great place to people watch if you sit outside on the...

We’re staying on 35th st between 5th & 6th for 5 nights over new year and are looking for a cosy Italian. Any ideas? Thanks Simon & Debra ps any irish bars with live music near?

on the weekends and a nice view of the Indy downtown. Since there are houses in the vicinity, the music starts early (7:00pm) and ends early (11:00pm), which is nice if you don’t want to stay out late. For breakfast...

jnk, I have yet to attend a music club, jazz or otherwise, that didn’t have an odor. Combo of fried appetizers, old beer, cigs and sweat....appears to be the price for catching some fab indie talent.

in Lansing, MI. The purpose of the trip is good BBQ and country music as well as a few days relaxing in the mountains. We’ve got a couple touristy type places we want to stop at just to say we’ve eaten there, but...

in athens, a little gladhanding gets you miles further than a load of talent. Take our music scene, for instance. The most popular bands are the ones with members who are in 10 other bands, and who are down in it with the little...

My apologies. I completely missed the live music aspect of your request. Black Betty is connected to The Fifth, and they will sometimes have live indie bands. Supermarket will also have live bands on certain nights, but...

What bands and type of music are you into?

/stanton. butcher bar—relaxed and inexpensive place ($5 stoli-tonics), attached to arlene grocery. good music in the punk/indie/random vein. stanton btwn orchard/ludlow. swim—great music, not too loud the last few times...

This is how the musical chair played out: Once upon a time Mistral and Corner Bistro were in the same building. Then Mistral moved across the street, Corner Bistro opened in the old Mistral space, and old Corner Bistro became...

on your taste in music; for indie / alt rock, check out Crocodile and Showbox (both downtown), Chop Suey and Nuemo’s (Cap Hill, walkable), or for y’alternative, Tractor in Ballard. Shopping- Do I sound like a broken...

Starbucks sucks. Their coffee is burnt and awful, their teas are lame supermarket stuff, their food is hyper-expensive, their music is very loud and their employees are encouraged to act like drunks. Probably the only good food...

. This is where my boss ate next to Mario Andretti and Paul Newman a few years back when they were in town for the Indy 500. Ralph’s Great Divide on New York Street about 6 or 7 blocks east of downtown is a little...

for The National. Both those places will probably have a cover / ticket fee depending on who the musicians are. Richmond also has a pretty good indie music / amateur jazz scene, and I’m not sure where the best place is to...

I have found that the hotels tend to have toned down versions. I like the the Thai food at Sukhotai , Four Seasons etc... Just got back from BKK and ate at a place on Soi 11(Sukhumvit) that had live music and good cheap eats....
