Marie's Crisis Inc, New York

Marie's Crisis Inc - The name is a puzzler. No one really knows what Marie's crisis was. Some say that Tom Paine wrote his famous "The Crisis" there and that someone named Marie used to own the place. But who knows? Now, it's an aging piano bar frequented by classy old queens with the air of a Dowager Empress. Still, if you're drunk enough, it is fun to sing along to the songs, since EVERYONE else in the bar is too.
