Location: Midtown West, NYC
Band: Cat Power and Dirty Delta Blues + Appaloosa
Venue: Terminal 5
Food: Empanada Mama
Drink: Circus
Miscellaneous: Vintage


With a beautiful and fragile sounding voice, Cat Power AKA Chan Marshall takes to the stage at Terminal 5 with blues veterans to perform songs from her new covers album Jukebox. Though small, Empanada Mama packs a hefty punch with more than 40 kinds of empanadas. Choose from a wheat or corn flour shell to start as ingredients include basic rice and beans to what they have dubbed “Viagra,” a wheat flour empanada stuffed with shrimp, scallop, and crab ($3). Appropriately, at Circus, you’ll get free hot dogs, peanuts, and popcorn without the animals, screaming babies, and clowns at this Rudy’s Bar spin-off that has beer just as cheap and a neighborhood feel. If cheap beer ain’t your thing, Vintage has a wine list with over 200 wines by the glass or bottle from most of the boutique wineries in Long Island and Upstate New York.
