The Living Room

The Living Room is a music venue on Metropolitan Avenue in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, which was originally established on Stanton Street of the Lower East Side in New York City in New York City in 1988. The Living Room is co-owned by Steve Rosenthal and Jennifer Gilson. The Living Room has showcased some of the best of New York City’s singer/songwriter, alt-country, and rock. The Living Room moved to 134 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn in 2015.

This music venue has been called "an incubator of talent," and has been described as "a much mellower and tidier successor to CBGB." Some consider The Living Room the Bottom Line of the "small bankroll" live rock venues. Other comparable venues include The Saint in Asbury Park, NJ, and The Cellar Door in Georgetown, Washington, D.C.. The Living Room's line up features four or five singer-songwriters a night, yet the club does not typically charge a cover. It does have a one drink minimum and a recommended $5 donation for the bands.

The aunts have a long running fear of death in the house, with any bedroom being locked away from further use following a death of its resident family member.

Living room

In Western architecture, a living room, also called a lounge room, lounge or sitting room, is a room in a residential house or apartment for relaxing and socializing. Such a room is sometimes called a front room when it is near the main entrance at the front of the house. In large formal homes, a sitting room is often a small private living area adjacent to a bedroom, such as the Queen's Sitting Room and the Lincoln Sitting Room of the White House. The term living room was coined in the late 19th or early 20th century.

Overview

In homes that lack a parlour or drawing room, the living room may also function as a reception room.

A typical Western living room may contain furnishings such as a sofa, chairs, occasional tables, coffee tables, bookshelves, electric lamps, rugs, or other furniture. Traditionally, a sitting room in the United Kingdom and New Zealand has a fireplace, dating from when this was necessary for heating. In a Japanese sitting room, called a washitsu, the floor is covered with tatami, sectioned mats, on which people can sit comfortably.
