Marie's Crisis Cafe has been in existence since the 1850s. Its life began as a place for the 'infamous women', and then in 1890s it was a boy bar. It came to be called crisis after Thomas Paine wrote the 'Crisis Papers' in this house. Every night the public joins the individual gay men or performers that sing to the tune of a piano playing and creating a nostalgic atmosphere. Beer and cocktails are served here, but watch out for the beautiful mirror work that depicts the scenes of French and American Revolution placed on the wall near the bar, whose origins remain unknown to this day.
