"The term ‘safe space’ doesn’t usually conjure up images of a black-ceilinged bar and a vintage Seeburg jukebox packed with vinyl that includes ‘Have Love Will Travel,’ by the Sonics, and ‘What a Way To Die,’ by the Pleasure Seekers (15-year old Suzi Quatro’s all-female family and friends band). Not to mention steep stairs presided over by collectible Ramones ‘Demented Dollz’ and an Iggy Pop photo for patrons to ogle as they descend to the cozy Cabin Down Below basement bar. ... The weekend scene belies the area’s gritty cultural bona fides. But at 7th Street and Avenue A, 96 Tears is taking back the night. ...”

An ashtray for the scholars.
