Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
With a rock roster that's included musical forces as diverse as Devendra Banhart and the Hold Steady, Lit is a wonderfully grungy East Village classic. The raucous arty crowd hits not only shows but its charming art gallery Fuse and theme parties, which cater to fans of specific bands (the White Stripes, Devo, and the Buzzcocks, to name just three).
