Description:

With the rise of clubs like Webster Hall and Gramercy Theater, Irving Plaza has lost its monopoly on concerts by midsize touring bands. What to do? Rename itself! But nobody actually called the club Fillmore New York, and the name recently reverted back to its original form. By any name its a great place to see big stars slumming (the White Stripes playing a late-night gig) and medium heavies like Lily Allen on their way up to larger spaces. And from the parlor-lit lounge downstairs to the shadowy corners of the balconies, this pleasantly worn old ballroom whispers of New Yorks rock past.
