A short stop at Ben’s Pizzeria at the corner of Macdougal Street and W. 3rd and then on to the Comedy Cellar where the comedian regularly performs in front of an often conquered audience. While Louis C.K.’s HBO series may have helped inspire hundreds of tourists to book a table at the Comedy Cellar, this iconic club didn’t wait for this large-scale media exposure to earn its stripes with a huge number of insiders.
