History

Still capturing every missed note, ela-ela

Duet was already on West 35th Street in September 2007, when community-board minutes listed it at number 53¹. When we listed it, we promised its top-of-the-line machines and microphones would capture every missed note of Umbrella (ela-ela) in stunning fidelity. After a shutdown, the company announced that Duet 35 would reopen on Friday, April 2, 2021². It's still on the second floor at 53 West 35th Street, and on Friday and Saturday nights the singing goes on until 4 am³.
