9.8 out of 10 New York music fiends and club owners know NYC is total shit for all ages shows. Be it because city officials are consistently waging a war against under 21 venues or because clubs make money from alcohol proceeds and they don’t really fight for the under 21 crowd, NYC 18+ let alone all ages clubs are overwhelmingly a hard gig to find.
