Neighborhood Side Streets

Sid Gold’s Request Room - 165 West 26th Street“I’ve always been a fan of music,” said Paul Devitt at the bar surrounding the piano in the back room of Sid Gold’s. Paul co-owns this amazing place alongside Joe McGinty, a composer, arranger, and pianist, also known for having started the Loser’s Lounge, a group of talented performers who breathe new life into pop classics. Despite the fact that Joe is the more musical of the two, it was Paul’s idea to open Sid Gold’s Request Room, which is named after a Broadway talent agent.
