Go Sunday night for the free late show!
Definitely go to the Sunday night free show. Absolutely hilarious improvisational theater, featuring Lutz of "30 Rock" fame. Make sure to get there early to wait in line, especially if you want a seat -- 8 is a good time to get in line, and the show starts at 9:30. I recommend getting dinner from a food truck or the Gristede's next door and eating in line. I guarantee the show will have you in stitches.
