Pieces, Greenwich Village

Pieces - Pieces feels a bit like gay prom.  Courting rituals are awkward. The music is terrible.  The decor looks as though it were ordered from a party supply catalogue.  And there is an abundance of men from New Jersey here who are potentially concealing wedding rings in their pockets.  But for some reason Pieces holds a special place in our heart, perhaps because it is one of the only gay nightlife spots in New York where you can escape from all things high-maintenance, and really feel like you’re somewhere else (like, say, Indianapolis).
