Fun and entertainment The United States Of America

After its long success, 42 nd Street was replaced in 1988 by the no less popular Phantom of the Opera, still in the poster.

In this large old second-hand bookstore (there are 45,000 of them) there is a café where it is good to read, to escape the hustle and bustle of Soho. The place is particularly warm, with its large wooden staircase and shelves up to the ceiling that overflow with structures. The café library also organizes events, readings and book signings. She donates the profits to an association, Housing Works, which helps homeless people with AIDS.

Salsa, blues, jazz, rock... Whatever the program, people flock to the entrance of this nightclub. From Wednesday to Sunday, Café Wha's resident band plays hits from the 1970s to the 1990s. On Monday and Tuesday, two very popular special evenings take place: the Brazilian Dance Party and Tuesday Night Funk. This bar has been around for 40 years, a veteran of the New York scene that holds its own. Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan played here in their early days!

This is probably one of the most impressive shows in Las Vegas, and the one most locals recommend. This is the show that made Cirque du Soleil's reputation in Sin City. The circular letter is used as a diminutive for "water", the theme on which the entire show is based. Swimmers, divers and dancers follow one another in a 2.5-hour aquatic ballet on a stage that turns into a swimming pool. It's a good introduction to the shows put on by this internationally renowned Quebec company, and one that rarely leaves you disappointed.

Instantly recognizable by its green poster depicting a pretty witch with a pointed hat, this musical (winner of three Tony Awards) tells a story that is ancillary to the book The Wizard of Oz, inspired by the first novel in Gregory Maguire's book series. The costumes are enchanting, but the universe is not as childish as the poster suggests, the little ones may be a little scared by all these witch stories! Anyway, between the good and the evil witch, your heart will swing...

It is here that the city's flagship show, The Grand Ole Opry, takes place. The one who set Nashville as the country music capital. Several evenings a week, you can attend this mythical show in his home in Music Valley/Opryland. Current Opry members include Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels, Jimmy Dickens, Vince Gill, Martina McBride, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban

In January 2013, San Francisco opened this center dedicated to jazz performance and education. The structure, a $60 million architectural project, was designed by Mark Cavagnero and houses a 700-seat auditorium, three rehearsal rooms, a digital music lab and a restaurant. The SFJAZZ season, in addition to the jazz festival and summer sessions, includes more than 400 performances a year in the San Francisco Bay Area. The concerts have gained international recognition, so it's best to book your tickets in advance.

Founded in 1945, it is the largest independent contemporary music school in the world. Quincy Jones and John Mayer attended it! It is located in the Back Bay area. Most concerts are free and open to the public. It is also possible to attend concerts given by the school's students at the Berklee Performance Center. All concerts are advertised on the website under "Events". They take place in the school's various halls, including the Performance Center, which seats 1,200.

This permanent show by the hilarious Cirque du Soleil has been produced at the Mirage since 2006. Love had the good idea of not proposing a retrospective, but rather an experiment on the Beatles. Each of the Liverpool band's cult songs is illustrated by acrobatic scenes on a 360° stage, where an air of surreal poetry hovers. A multi-sensory journey that is psychedelic, captivating, immersive and technological. Spectacular, as always! At the helm: director Dominic Champagne.

Three blue-skinned, black-clad percussionists engage in strange experiments on stage: playing tom-tom while spraying themselves with acrylic, gobbling up as many marshmallows as possible without choking, developing a musical tune while crunching cereal, making a canvas by spitting paint... The show is punctuated by long drum riffs on piping systems. This show is perfect for a family outing. To enjoy the show and have the best view, it is advisable to take seats in rows A and B.

In the movie Coyote Girls, sexy barmaids dance on the bar, taking gentlemen's heads between their legs and sticking a bottle of booze in their mouths. The Coyote Ugly tries its hand at this game! Also worth noting is the decor, with dozens of bras hanging from the ceiling - beware of a stiff neck! Like most Las Vegas clubs, the Coyote Ugly offers numerous theme nights throughout the year, including a Halloween costume contest. The club can accommodate up to 350 guests.

Maui's most genuine luau. Open bar and buffet of traditional local dishes with, among other delicacies, lomi saumon salmon (tomato and onions-marinated salmon), beryllium poke (boiled soy marinated with lightly spicy soy) or haupia (coconut pudding). The key moments in Hawaii's history, the arrival of the Tahitiens at the beginning of tourism, are narrated through songs and dances. The dancers practise the two forms of hula, which is rare, the modern hula and the ancient hula, "kahikiko".

A good selection of coffees and a few pastries. Its leather armchairs provide a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Its pastries are not the best in town, but they are often welcome when you surveyed the entire neighbourhood. More than thirty coffee shops in Louisiana.

This historic building is said to have once housed a newspaper and then a brewery. Today, its huge industrial brick room serves as a bar-restaurant in the heart of downtown Lake Charles. The decoration is pop and colorful. The big bar invites you to settle down in the evening if you don't prefer the very pleasant terrace. As for the menu, it's simple but good. The sandwiches are copious and the pizzas very tasty. But if we also come there, it is for its shows presented every evening and which do not cost a penny.

One of the best bar-restaurants in the heart of downtown. Specializing in original and delicious cocktails, the bar offers live music five nights a week, information regularly updated on the site about this. To test: theirOld School Bloody Mary. Excellent welcome and relaxed atmosphere in an intimate setting reminiscent of speakeasy style bars! Indeed, the place and the menu would be a reminiscence of the 20's. An address to remember to start your festive evenings in Sacramento.

Founded in 1964 by Mario Maglieri, Elmer Valentine and Phil Tanzini, this is a legendary venue where legendary bands from the Doors to the Kings, The New York Dolls and Led Zeppelin have performed. Guitars here are usually used to play hard rock. Although Whiskey A Go Go - purposely spelled without an "e", as 1960s Los Angeles laws forbade clubs to be named after liquor - is clearly living off its heritage, the independent bands that still perform on stage are worth a visit.

This small coffeeshop serves excellent coffee and welcomes the young and trendy population of Duluth. The real bonus, which sets them apart from many American channels, is that the cookies and cupcakes are homemade. The reception is also much more friendly. The croissants and pains au chocolat, while not the best in the world, are actually quite good. Since the summer of 2019, Duluth Coffee Company has had a second address, which opened in the Canal Park area, even closer to Lake Superior.

On Hayes Valley's bustling square, you'll find this little wooden shack that offers a wide selection of cold-pressed juices (often from vegetables), and is a must for locals. After a jog or for an energizing and sunny break, succumb to the delicious green elixirs, cleverly dosed and packed with vitamins. Ginger, turmeric or even celery juices are yours! Last but not least: in addition to being good, these juices are excellent for your health. They are even particularly recommended for people with a fragile liver.

Resolutely alternative and off the beaten track, this local bar/art gallery/small concert venue attracts a crowd of young and old to relax in a European atmosphere. The atmosphere is very cool, 1970s style, with regular open mic sessions, where anyone can get on the small wooden stage and get the room dancing. On the menu, it's rather vegetarian, with great salads. One of our favorite spots in Madison.

The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1911 and resident since 1980 at Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of the city, has a worldwide reputation. The programming is very varied and the acoustics are perfect. The orchestra's awards and honors include an Emmy Award and 15 Grammy Awards over the past 26 years. After 25 years of conducting the orchestra, Michael Tilson Thomas stepped down as conductor in 2020 to take over from Esa-Pekka Salonen of Finland.

Audium is the place where sound, space and deep immersive experience meet. This "theater of sound" proposes to intensely explore music and the spatial dimension of sound, thanks to a multi diffusion installation. Today, Audium has become a true center for spatial art, which has set itself the goal of amplifying perceptual awareness of the space and sounds that surround our society. It is a canvas for artists, playing with technological and creative boundaries. The pieces proposed are however of uneven quality.

It is a real institution in San Francisco and one of the favorite bars of the locals. The specialty of the Buena Vista is theIrish coffee, invented here in 1952 by the bar's owner Jack Koeppler and Stanton Delaplane, a journalist from the San Francisco Chronicle. A mixture of hot coffee, whiskey and cream, the recipe has never changed, but has spread all over the world. And the waiters of the Buena Vista Café have served, according to the house accounts, more than 30 million Irish Coffee. To be tasted in its original version!

This is the historic North Beach bar, located next to Lawrence Ferlinghetti's legendary City Lights Bookstore. Founded in 1948, it was frequented by a number of Beat Generation celebrities including Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and Neal Cassady, as well as Bob Dylan and Francis Ford Coppola. Cosy decor with walls lined with paintings, posters and photos. Perfect to immerse yourself in the bohemian atmosphere of the early 60s. To complete the picture, the pedestrian alley shared with City Lights is called Jack Kerouac Alley.

This place is one of the must-see places in Salem and is as popular with locals as it is with tourists passing through. The owners of the Gulu-Gulu café met in Prague at a café of the same name. Back in the United States, they decided to recreate the atmosphere of this bar with a resolutely European style. And we love it! On the menu, mostly salads and sandwiches, served all day long. The place serves coffee during the day but also beer and wine. Concerts and other events are organized regularly.

The Museum Club is an icon in Flagstaff. It was a certain Dean Eldredge, taxidermist, who created this large wooden cabin in 1931. When he died, many of the naturalized animals were sold. Nevertheless, some of them still remain and are still admired by customers. Over the years, this establishment has been bought by music lovers. People come here to have a drink and listen to jazz or country music in a typical American West atmosphere. The establishment is part of the historical sites of the 66.

Opening on July 4, 2023, The Sphere is Las Vegas' newest attraction. This giant ball represents the excessiveness of Sin City, with its giant 15,000^m2 screen (16K resolution), 170,000 speakers and haptic seats. The venue can accommodate up to 19,000 people for concerts, shows and projections. The band U2 opened in October with a show that fans won't forget. The outside facade is a spectacle in itself, with a 53,000^m2 screen broadcasting continuous images. An unforgettable outing.

An ultra-sympa bar, with an eclectic decoration, a mix of museum dedicated to Elvis and flea market. Locals love this cosy place that has been part of the South End scene for over 50 years and still has very affordable prices. It is true that you can eat well and cheaply there, in addition to having a drink in an almost parallel atmosphere. From its toilets with graffiti-covered walls to its LEDs hanging from the ceiling, Delux Cafe is a real old-fashioned bar, where pretension is not the order of the day. Attention, payment in cash only.

S Bar (Mandalay Bay) welcomes you to a cosy, chic setting. This establishment offers a variety of lounge experiences with copper tones, luxurious drapes, plush seating and a polished black marble bar adorned with iconic artworks by Terry O'Neill, one of the world's most collected photographers. The S Bar offers a few dishes if you're feeling a little hungry, but it's above all the many spirits, cocktails (with a few house specialties) and other wines that will seduce you.

One of San Francisco's great concert halls, from 1965 to 1968 it was the epicenter of creative music in the San Francisco Sound. During the 1967 Summer of Love , the venue produced some of the most innovative and provocative music in the Bay Area. The Grateful Dead, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Captain Beefheart, The Who and Otis Redding were all heard there. Among the more recent stars to have trodden the Fillmore's stage are Prince, Lenny Kravitz, Radiohead, The Cure, The White Stripes, Ali Farka Toure...

A long table welcomes the colourful crowd of Wicker Park, in a debonair atmosphere. "Bangers" means sausage and "Lace" is the layer of foam that must be obtained on a pint. You have understood the motto: beer and hot dogs. The atmosphere is good-natured. A purely chicagoan evening in perspective under the golden ceiling and between the brick walls of this superb hangar, tastefully and eclectically renovated (just look at the deer heads hanging on the wall).

At Whistler, the people are handsome, the waiters are pleasant, the DJs are talented and the cocktails are evil! Certainly one of the best bars in Chicago, located in a rather quiet area and frequented mainly by locals. Free and good quality live music concerts are organised on a regular basis, and we enjoy attending them in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with a cheap but tasty beer in our hands. There is an inner courtyard, which can be enjoyed during the summer months. Whistler is definitely our little favorite.

The creators of the excellent show Absinthe - the Spiegeworld company - are responsible for the quirky asteroid that is OPM. What's it all about? The space shuttle OPM73 and its zany crew are drifting between Uranus and Earth. So much for the pitch. For almost 75 minutes, the numbers fly by, punctuated by the groovy, electric music of a talented orchestra and the sexy interventions of a singer who has all the makings of a Cosmic Girl. A fun, rock'n'roll show that's a true declaration of love for SF films and B-movies.

Cult bar-club of the LGBTQI+ community of East L.A., it is a friendly place, uninhibited and without taboos, where respect and good atmosphere reign. On the dance floor, bodies come alive to disco and sweet pop. Unfortunately, as everywhere in Los Angeles, the party stops way too early: when the DJ turns on the neon lights at 2am, the crowd spills out onto the sidewalk, happy and drunk... And it's here that the most unexpected encounters take place. All in all, Akbar is an emblematic place, a promise of a good evening.

Step back in time and spend the evening in a saloon - that's the proposition of the Rusty Spur, housed in what was the Farmers Bank from 1921 to 1931. Although the bank closed during the Great Depression, the vault remained, and is now filled with bottles. Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Anniston are just some of the celebrities who have set foot on the premises. One of the reasons to come is to enjoy the unique decor and live country music. Although the beer is bottled only, the selection is still very good.

One of the oldest establishments in San Francisco. Opened in 1913, it belongs today to the Plumpjack group of the former mayor Gary Newsom. Old-fashioned brewery decor where young and old alike crowd together for a drink on weekends. Hard to move among the golden boys and girls of the neighborhood, it is nevertheless a good address to drink a beer in a relaxed and noisy atmosphere. Special mention for the salmon tacos and the fried chimichurri, but also for the martini expressos and the bloody marys.

Really a place like no other! To get there you have to go to a laundry and nothing, absolutely nothing else, indicates that you are at the right address. You really have to go into the laundry and push the back door and here you are at the entrance of a magic show room... And it's indeed magical from the moment you enter: dimmed lights, cosy room and stage with a big red curtain do the rest. Various magicians will parade by while you dine comfortably seated. Between two shows, artists play live. A superb address!

Located in the chic Peninsula Hotel, this bar is one of Chicago's trendiest. It overlooks the famous Michigan Avenue, and its superb rooftop is perfect for sunny days. Inside, the lights are subdued, the decor is uncluttered, and you can enjoy excellent cocktails prepared by real pros, along with stylish tapas and delicious sushi. The clientele is made up of young forty-somethings from Chicago, as well as posh people who stay at the Peninsula, where rooms are priced to the eye... A great place for a drink and a snack!

Beautiful concert hall in a hundred-year-old building, completely renovated. Jimmy's offers a top-quality jazz & blues program, and has already played host to a number of top names (Kenny Garrett, Nate Smith, Ricky Lee Jones, etc.). The possibility of dining on site (in the "Moulin Rouge" style, according to the venue's manager) or having a drink makes the experience even more delicious. A great atmosphere and a great evening guaranteed for music lovers.

Located close to the famous Angels Flight Railway, La Cita - French for "the rendezvous" - takes its customers on a Latin American evening. Originally Mexican, this friendly bar plays a mix of cumbia - a type of music and dance from Colombia - 1990s hip-hop, salsa and reggaeton. There's a good-natured atmosphere: here, people dance without judgment, whatever their level. There's no shortage of people to meet on the patio, the beer is cold and the guinguette atmosphere is very pleasant.

This tiny, exotic bar, where tiki kitsch reigns - a fashion inspired by Hawaiian style in the 1950s - has been around since 1961. Nothing, or almost nothing, has changed: the cocktails - for which the recipes have always been the same - are fruity and devilishly measured, the glasses are carved from fake totem poles, and smoking was still the order of the fifties until recently. Around the counter, loaded with gurgling fountains and figurines of mermaids and wahines, are many aficionados of the tiki style, looking as if they'd stepped out of an old Hollywood film.

Federales, also present in Dallas and Denver, showcases Mexican cocktails and cuisine. Don't be fooled by its subdued street art ambience, this place will turn up the heat as soon as the DJ takes over the decks. There are plenty of tables to sit around, and a central bar, making for an open, unpretentious space - as evidenced by the humorous phrases about our relationship with alcohol. Self-service fresh water, draught beers... And excellent mango margaritas. The terrace closes around midnight.

The Broadway Ticket Center is a must for all Manhattan showgoers. It offers a wide selection of tickets for Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. The Broadway Ticket Center website is a valuable resource for finding tickets and information on current shows. You can also call their hotline for assistance.

It's difficult to pass without notice this huge bar overlooking Ocean Drive and the impressive number of people already attablées, whatever the time of day or night. This is not the ideal place for a romantic evening, but it's the place to be for fun, laugh seeing and be seen and of course drink a drink. A wide choice of beers and cocktails, especially frost, with music running at full volume.
