Danny’s Skylight, RIP

Sad news. After 30 years, Danny’s Skylight Room will close its doors on December 31. Danny’s is where I got to see Maude Maggart and Blossom Dearie (twice!)–and Fiona Apple and Margaret Whiting. Those last two were in the audience on the same night.

Booking manager Don Schaffer plans to recreate a new cabaret showroom in the coming year. And there is time to catch some of the acts in the Last Hurrah Concert Series. Reservations: (212) 265-8130 or (212) 265-8133.
