Specialties

Welcome to FBPC ( a Fat Black Pussycat ) , a New York bar that has everything... Our front room (formerly the Kettle of Fish) maintains its historic roots to old NY's Greenwich Village. A gallery of Village faces, in photographs and paintings line the walls, documenting the bar's history since the 1950's. The back room, hidden behind the curtain is a spectacular lounge. Oriental rugs, Moroccan lanterns and the remnants of the buildings original 1880's windows (now bricked) set the tone. The music - choice selections from the greatest artists of Africa, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and the entire world - set the backdrop. And, if there's ever a "best lounge seating" competition, this place will win. Antique couches, a full-on throne, and other plush places to plant yourself fill the large space, forming a variety of cozy conversation pits. This is the last thing you'd expect to find on one of the most tourist visited streets in the Village...
