Cake Shop NYC, Music venue in Lower East Side, Manhattan, US.
The venue operated on two levels, with a cafe and record store upstairs and a performance space in the basement at 152 Ludlow Street.
From 2005 to 2016, Cake Shop served as a launching pad for numerous bands, including early performances by Vampire Weekend and The Dirty Projectors.
The basement stage provided a platform for independent musicians to perform their original work while maintaining artistic freedom without commercial constraints.
The establishment combined multiple functions under one roof, letting visitors enjoy coffee, cakes, and cocktails while browsing records or watching live performances.
The venue created specialty drinks such as tea-infused cocktails, including an Earl Grey Old Fashioned, which set it apart from standard music establishments.
