The Duplex

Setting the pace for campy, good-natured fun (though not classic glamour), the city’s oldest cabaret is still going strong at 70. A generous mix of regulars and tourists laugh and sing along with drag performers, comedians and rising stars in the cabaret room on the second floor. In the ground-floor piano bar, the merry singing waitstaff is entertaining enough to avoid charges of gimmickry, and the pianists are often excellent.
