WWE HALL OF FAMER JOHNNY VALIANT BRINGING COMEDY SHOW BACK TO NYC

By Mike Johnson on 1/12/2012 10:40 PM

WWE HALL OF FAMER LUSCIOUS JOHNNY VALIANT RETURNS WITH COMEDY SHOW SUNDAY 
JANUARY 29 9PM WITH MUSICAL GREATS NED MASSEY (8PM) AND TIMMY DOUGLAS (7PM)
Luscious Johnny Valiant returns to Gizzi's
 


When trying to find a spot to unwind on a weeknight, you often have to make some choices. Do you want good food or great drinks? Do you desire live music or a place you can actually have a conversation? For most bars in the West Village, these qualities are mutually exclusive; at Gizzi's, however, you can actually have it all. The lounge buzzes with a warm, engaging energy and terrific live performances seven nights a week, but the cozy room never feels so loud that you have to shout to be heard. Even better, neither the cocktail program nor the dinner menu takes a backseat in terms of quality. The signature martinis are every bit as good as the ribeye, so much that it's practically a shame to consume them apart.

  

Gizzi's creates an intimate vibe with their banquette, a long stretch of seating divvied up into ever-so-slightly private nooks. It's a detail that reminds you of the difference between a bar and a full-on lounge. Here, you can settle in for dinner, drinks, and a show, feeling both like you're in your own world and part of a cool, neighborly crowd. It's an experience that lends itself to a high degree of repeatability: don't be surprised if you find yourself recognizing some of the loyal regulars. After all, it simply means you're becoming one of them.
