Marc Ribot is a great great guitarist with eclectic tastes and a good feel for music as culture (and good politics to match).  Any night of this residency is worthwhile — but I'm giving the nod to the opening night's big-band exploration of Haiti's propulsive, colorful (and political in effect) Rara music.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Victoria Blamey's revivification of the Gotham Bar & Grill remains the place to eat around here.  I continue to prefer the simpler bar menu to the more complicated dishes on the dining room menu — and also continue to urge you look at the end of the wine list for the natural wines section instead of at the preceding pages of overpriced and underaged unnatural wines.
