HOT TIP: Take in Some of Summer's Best Shows at the Spiegeltent

There's a new venue in town. But careful, don't blink or you might miss it.

That's right, for the 2nd year running, NYC is playing host to the Spiegeltent. All
the way from Belgium to the South Street Seaport's Pier 17, this 1920s
masterpiece of velvet, teak, stained glass and a thousand (1,000!) mirrors is a
beautiful summertime romance for the city of NY.



From noon to the wee hours of the night, our Art Deco mistress plays host to a
diverse array of musicians, cabaret, and all sorts of outrageous feats of
derring-do. Get a load of who's playing this summer:

Check out the official site for more on the cabaret and high-flying thrills of
Absinthe and La Vie.

She was a shining star in last year's summer concert season, garnering both critical
acclaim and huge word of mouth buzz. But you better catch Ms. Spiegeltent by
9/23, because just like the disappearing summer, to paraphrase Verbal Kint,
"And poof. Just like that, [s]he's gone."
