Vanished Venues: Two Iconic Nightclubs

Soundcheck | Oct 15, 2010

Today we kick off our week-long series about the rise (and fall) of great nightclubs and concerts halls that helped shape New York City's cultural life. We learn about the legacy left by the Park Avenue hangout known as Max's Kansas City. And: tales from The Bottom Line - Greenwich Village's storied cabaret-style nightclub. Plus: Rock songstress Shara Worden performs excerpts from Sarah Kirkland Snider's "Penelope" - a song cycle for the indie generation.
