East Village Restaurant, Bar and Alt-Cabaret Supper Club and New Work Incubator
The intimate East Village supper club Pangea is known for supporting artists of all persuasions; offering an essential safe-place for taking artistic risks; and for its delicious and spirited Downtown hospitality. Its role as an incubator for new work, in a city where the cost of living has become prohibitively stratospheric for artists, is vital to preserving the East Villages identity as a counter-culture hotbed. A favorite haunt of East Village scene makers and artists since opening as Spaghetteria in 1986, Pangea started programing music and performance in 2015.
An impressive roster of some of the most daring alt-cabaret artists working on the cusp of music, theatre and the spoken word use Pangea's cozy 60-seat showroom as their home base: Sidney Myer, Tammy Faye Starlite, Penny Arcade, David Cale, Salty Brine, Claywoman, Raven O, Carol Lipnick, Joey Arias, Flotilla DeBarge, the Jazz Bastards, Rachelle Garniez and producer Kevin Malony. The New York Times has called it a bohemian oasis not unlike the fabled Max's Kansas City from days gone by.
