Caveat is a bar and stage on Manhattan's Lower East Side (21A Clinton St) devoted to “intelligent nightlife” — a subterranean theater where stand-up comedy shares the calendar with science lectures, live game shows, storytelling, and podcast tapings. Long-running series like Lectures on Tap and the improv staple RAAAATSCRAPS draw a curious, in-the-know NYC crowd for nights that are as smart as they are funny.
