| - If you're even a marginal fan of comedy, you'll instantly love Hilarities. I mean, really. Laughter is good for the soul, so do yourself a favor and check out this comedy club.
I always have those friends that say comedy clubs aren't their "thing." But if I can at least get them through the door, I can usually change their mind fairly quickly. It all begins with the location! You honestly cannot beat the buzzing street that is East 4th. At night, East 4th is alive with terrific restaurants and buskers, and you can have a fantastic meal nearby (make reservations!) or grab a bite at the adjacent restaurant, Pickwick & Frolic. This makes for a lovely evening before you approach the glimmering outdoor lights of this NYC style comedy club!
The food is quality, but just keep your expectations realistic. You are in a comedy club, not a five star restaurant. Its great for appetizers like sliders, chicken tenders, or other quick bites. Their strong suit is truly the drinks...those bartenders do not skimp! Their bottles of wine are also priced fairly, so that's usually the route I go when with friends.
When i'm entering Hilarities, I tend to ask the hostess to NOT seat me in the front, but rather, a booth in the back. The booths are more private, and if I get seated in the front (which is where they usually lead me), I tend to get picked on in good fun by the comics. I am 5'10" and blonde, so I guess I have that coming, but i'd rather enjoy my comedy in the dark privacy of the back...there's not a bad seat in the house!
Also, don't forget to sign up for the Hilarities newsletter, and fill out the little cards on your table to win free tickets. Hilarities is quite generous with their complimentary tickets, and the odds are high in your favor!
