In tough times, one of the best ways of dealing with any sitting-duck-presidency woe is to appreciate what Americans have always done best: jazz. Especially when it's free!
Maybe for most, jazz is considered the provenance of music geeks or elevator music (for not-so-easy listening), but there's a bar in Williamsburg that has been changing that. It's called Rose Live Music, on Grand Street, a little place tucked back from the Bedford sprawl against Marcy Avenue. When it first opened, I thought, “Wow, this place is great, but no one's here and it'll probably go out of business." But there's a reason wasn't a business major, and a year later, Rose seems to be doing very well, by and large on the basis of one thing: the charming, 1950s-Paris-in-New-York ambiance and the free music they put on weekly.
