I know tons of artists who have done Berlin and tend to enjoy the venue
Berlin
Have performed in the upstairs room a few times which is a great place to test out new material and if you’re good & sell tickets you can do the downstairs stage!!
The Bowery Electric
A super cool, usually top of the list venue for independent artists in the NYC area!!
The Sultan Room
There’s tons of coffee shops to perform at if you want, but this one will allow you to do your own concert if you want!
Nook
Another well known venue for independent music artists in the city! Major Stage will sometimes facilitate the shows here
The Meadows
They don’t call it legendary for nothing! Some of the biggest celebs coming out of NYC started here!
The Legendary Sob’s
A spot for food & drinks and live music.. although personally I’d only go for the live music tbh
Brooklyn Music Kitchen
Live streaming and event venue!! Which is also cool for a bit of a twist in a performance
FIRSTLIVE BUSHWICK
Well known venue for artists of all genres!!
Pete's Candy Store

Digital platform based out of NYC! Primarily hip hop but super cool concept

Very New York coded online rap showcase! Also a fave
Bodega Raps (@newyerrrcity)
This is a pay to play platform for smaller artists! Particularly in hip hop & rap genres but could be worth it for smaller artists
