For music fans, loved the show I attended. The seating are regular chairs, might feel uncomfy after a while, but you have nice view of the street with wide windows and you have a sense of "Theme music" while people watching. Tickets are affordable, no drinks or food though. Cool spot to include in your night out in the neighborhood.

Phenomenal musician-oriented venue with an emphasis on experimental forms, especially jazz. All of the $20 ticket price, payable only at the door, goes directly to the artists. Sets begin promptly, and run no later than ten o’clock. Seating is on folding chairs arranged in tight rows. No food, drinks available for sale or permitted in the venue.

I have performed at The Stone numerous times at its original Lower East Side location, and several times at the newer site at the New School's Glass Box Theater. The policy of interesting artists curating performances by other interesting artists in an intimate music-only space, created by John Zorn decades ago, continues in fine manner. The seats are better at the New School than at the original space, and of course it is cleaner and much less funky. I think that the acoustics of the new space may not be quite as good, but don't let that stop you from seeing some unique and adventurous music, close up, where all the proceeds go to the musicians themselves!
