Cat House

Coney Island USA

1208 Surf Ave., Brooklyn, New York 11224

This venue is far from metropolitan civilization and in a Coney Island state of being, but in many regards manages to exceed expectations. If Disneyworld had a burlesque theater, this would be it. You walk into the attraction through the bar and exit to pick up your memorabilia through the store. The bar has a large selection of bottled beers, many local and very inexpensive, that put most other venues to shame. Every seat, while designed for fifteen-year-olds, has a good view. If there was a Michelin Guide for burlesque, this would definitively be in the grubHub section.
