The Figs
The Cutting Room44 East 32nd Street, New York 10016
The Figs bring a high-energy covers set built around familiar rock, pop and early-2000s songs. The night ranges from “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Sympathy for the Devil” to “Mr. Brightside,” “Sex on Fire,” Harry Styles and Bruno Mars, with piano, drums, bass, guitar solos and lead vocals driving a full-band sing-along.
The Cutting Room offers a distinctive live music experience in a space that balances a lively bar with attentive listening. The venue features a stage framed by exposed brick walls and warm lighting, creating a setting where the audience can enjoy performances up close. Seating is available but limited, encouraging a mix of sitting and standing that suits both focused listening and socializing. A full bar and a menu of thoughtfully prepared food complement the music, making it easy to settle in for the evening. Shows are ticketed, and purchasing tickets in advance is recommended to secure a spot. The venue often hosts multiple sets, allowing the night to unfold with a rich variety of sounds. This blend of quality music, good drinks, and a welcoming room makes for an engaging night out in Manhattan.
