Before
CremaBright, seriously-run downtown espresso bar. Closes at 6, so it's a daytime or early-evening move before a Broadway show — not an after-stop.
Show: ZZ Top w/ Cheap Trick at 8:00 PM
After
Layla'sLayla Vartanian opened it in 1997 — the only female-owned independent bar on Lower Broadway. While everything around it plays country radio, Layla's books bluegrass, hillbilly, rockabilly, Americana. Vintage license plates on the ceiling. Better drink prices than anything near it.
