The Green Room 42 is by far the sexiest cabaret room in New York City. It’s where I made my cabaret debut and even won my first MAC Award… dear lord, who left the window open? All these shameless self-plugs are finding their way into this article! Ok, that’s the last one…maybe. Back to the sex appeal of the room. The design is the perfect marriage of vintage supper club meets contemporary urban flair. Giant round booths line the room upholstered with a graffiti print vinyl, each table comes with a lamp on it to signal you’re ready to order more without taking away your focus from the show. The caliber of talent at the Green Room 42 is astronomically high. It creates space for Broadway icons like Lillias White to newcomers like Sean Patrick Murtagh (ok, seriously last plug) to share/find their voices and showcase their stories. The drinks and food are wonderful, but there is no minimum. I like this small detail a lot because seeing shows can quickly add up and club minimums can make it cost-prohibitive for some. The Green Room 42 has gone out of its way to make being a part of their audience easy on your wallet. They also have a rooftop bar mere steps away from the cabaret room that I highly recommend — great bartenders who make great drinks.
