Fill Up On Follia And Laugh The Night Away At The Stand

For a Gramercy locals-only soiree, start with wood-fired oven pizza and two glasses of wine at Follia. It's never too hard to get a table, but the food and atmosphere are lovely enough that you'd think it would be.

Next, we love starting the week off together with a good laugh, and that's exactly what you'll get at The Stand. There are several comedy stages within the sprawling space, so don't worry about grabbing a table for two and catching a hilarious performance. What we most love, however, is there elevated menu. It's more like a restaurant that happens to be a comedy club rather than a comedy club that serves so/so food.
