BEFORE THE SHOW
Usually it’s tourists and BPC locals who eat at Gigino at Wagner Park (20 Battery Pl at West St; 212-528-2228, gigino-wagnerpark.com), but you won’t find a handier spot to wolf down toothsome pasta and enjoy the gorgeous views before indulging in a little aural pleasure.
AFTER THE SHOW
If the show put you in the mood for some dancing, try the Thursday night party at sleaze pit Pussycat Lounge (96 Greenwich St at Rector St, 212-349-4800). Two-for-one apple martinis will get you moving to a hit parade of R&B, hip-hop and house favorites.
