The Public would be comparable to London's National Theater, though it isn't government subsidized. It is likely the leading non-profit theater in the country. In addition to it's full theater programming, Joe's Pub offers great drinks and music. Theater tickets are much more reasonably priced than Broadway and the level of artistry is often much higher.

Drinks & Nightlife
This is a great Bar in Astor Place, Manhattan, just a short walk from The Public Theater. Many theater artists hang out here because it's right in the middle of the "downtown" theater district, which is where much of the most exciting theater is being done.
