I must have passed it many times. A Greek church and a Greek diner are nearby, as is Alvin Ailey where I have taken lessons and performed, and of course the SAG Foundation is across the street.

Each night Broadway stars and emerging artists give cabaret-style performances for eager audiences. 54 Below, known as "Broadway's Supper Club," offers a seasonal menu of classic American cuisine. The dining experience was interesting and the service was fast and friendly. My friend and I split a burger and fries ($25), had 2 cocktails ($19 each) and a pinot grigio ($17). They had a minimum spend of $25 per person, which we easily met. There are about 20 tables and 6 larger booths. When we went many of the booth seats were taken by family and friends of the performers. The overall experience was entertaining. My friend really loved it. I thought it was great to experience something different and special, but I'm not sure how often I would come back.

We came to support our friends who were doing a show. They really pack people in and I'm good with paying to support the arts. For our friends' show, the cover was $35 each plus a two drink minimum with at least $20 required. We got drinks and two appetizers which were just okay but we weren't expecting gourmet fare. We got out of there for about $200 so a little pricey but it's nice to support artists. It's cash only so make sure you go before or else they send you to the sketchy ATM in the parking lot a couple of doors down and that charges a $4.75 fee. They are very good about notifying you that it's cash only, but bring more than you think you'll need.

I can't love this place enough. I can't rave about it enough. Sexy burlesque girls (and this time…read morethere were a lot of fine looking men!). Something for everyone! There were also acrobats and aerialists this time. Bastard Keith (that's literally his stage name) brought the laughs again as emcee. And yes, he pulled out his testicle again. I even got called up on stage and had some very interesting moments with Bastard Keith, which was captured by an artist stage side (you know I bought that sketch too). This time I went on a Saturday night and again bought reserved seating. I got another seat right up front. I don't think it was 85 dollars this time though, maybe more in the 60s range. Still 100 percent worth it. Again, it was laughter til tears rolled down my face. It was joy. It was love and acceptance. If you're not a prude and you need some respite from today's hard times, the slipper room is for you. Can't wait to go back again. Ignore the hater reviews. They have multiple acts every night and you can tell the performers work hard on them. They are impressive. If you don't like it, please get up there and YOU do it.

I did not mention the band, which was the highlight of the evening, but I am guessing even a D-level group would be elevated to an A+ by this venue.

Portions were satisfying, and the menu has enough variety to keep things interesting!!!!!!!! Service was friendly and efficient, even though it got busy while we were there. A couple of items took a bit longer than expected, and one dish could have been a little hotter, but nothing that ruined the experience. Overall, Birdland is a solid spot for a casual meal with good vibes and dependable food. Worth a visit, and I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu!!

We attended the Saturday matinee on the final day of this incarnation. Along with Adam Lambert as…read morethe Emcee, Bebe Neuwirth as Frauline Schneider, and Auliʻi Cravalho as Sally Bowles, the entire cast was exceptional. This performance of Cabaret was such an incredible experience! The August Wilson Theatre is currently housing the Kit Kat Club and features a round rotating stage in a delightfully intimate venue. From my vantage point, I couldn't spot a seat with a bad view. And the acoustics are amazing! As we entered, our phone cameras were stickered to block guests from taking photos during the performance. I willingly obliged, but was surprised to be reprimanded long after the show had ended & all the performers had left the stage. I did save my sticker & it lives on my laptop now. The pre-show performers were fascinating, and the musicians were equally talented. We splurged on FRONT ROW tables with the stage side dining and have zero regrets. We were literally inches from the performers! The amount of charcuterie served to us was egregious, and we appreciated the option to pack everything into takeout boxes for snacking later. Extra notes that may or may not be helpful: on our way to the theatre, walking up Broadway from 45th Street, my friend tripped & sprained her ankle, so we needed to take a Lyft as she couldn't continue walking. Luckily my husband was with us to help her limp through. Upon arriving at the August Wilson Theatre, we found the entry door for stage side dining wasn't very close to the box office, and my friend was too flustered to find her ticketing email, so I walked over to the box office. I only needed to give her name and our four tickets were printed quickly. Once inside, the theatre manager brought over some instant ice packs & medical tape for my friend's ankle to use during the show. I enjoyed this show SO MUCH. The August Wilson Theatre has been perfectly recreated into the Kit Kat Club! I definitely want to see Cabaret here again with the current cast, and also future casts.

Inside, the stage setup is beautiful, and all audiences have very good view of the show. The rotating stage also allows the actors to constantly position themselves in a way to allow a 360 degree view. As for the story and music, both were quite good. I don't want to ruin it for others, so I'll leave it at that. If you are there to see Adam Lambert and Auli'i Cravalho, they did not disappoint. Great show that deserves to be checked out.

Perfect for a date night, for those couples that are looking to spice things up, and if you're single like me, also plenty of room to explore and make new friends. Highly recommend!!

Terrible terrible experience. I tried to come here for their promotion with the Tippler…read more Unfortunately, they mislead the Tippler entirely. This is a cabaret show. So, Tippler is a partnership with some of the best bars in NYC. You pay a nominal fee, and in exchange you get to try signature drinks from several bars around the city. The Rose Room falsely advertised itself as a speakeasy/bar. When I came here, I was told that the show was almost done, but they'd let me catch the tail end of the show. I tried to ask for a ticket for another night instead. So at least I could see the full show. Unfortunately, they told me that I would have to pay for another night. Would it have really cost them much to just comp a ticket? Probably not. But the service and staff really put a sour taste in my mouth. IG: @QueenOfAdventureNYC
