Located in the heart of Manhattan’s Midtown, this chic bar and restaurant is situated in the lobby of the Royalton Hotel. The interior boasts the sleek lines of Phillippe Starck’s Postmodern interior designs, and this, combined with an air of total luxury, makes it a highly sought-after bar.
-
Home to jazz series, as well as ballet, opera, and the Harlem Film Festival.
-
This theater is Harlem’s famous showcase, where Ella Fitzgerald and James Brown launched their careers.
-
The former Limelight is a hip club in a converted church.
-
Name the stars and they’ve probably been on stage at the Beacon, where the likes of Bob Dylan, Sting, and B.B. King have performed. The Allman Brothers Band is a regular, and it’s always worth checking the current schedule.
-
Another legend, although no longer in the location opened by Charlie Parker in 1949. After ups and downs, the club is ensconced near Times Square in new quarters built in three tiers to ensure good sightlines. The food is decent, and big bands play from Tuesday to Sunday.
-
Tony Bennett, Natalie Cole, and Ray Charles have all played this Greenwich Village venue. The emphasis is on jazz, but blues, Latin, R&B, soul, and big band also feature.
-
Watch the sun set and the lights come on in the surrounding skyline at this outdoor bar beside the lake in Central Park, a location worthy of a movie set. The setting is particularly romantic on warm nights when rowboats and gondolas glide by.
-
The opening of Bowery Ballroom in 1998 helped spearhead a Lower East Side renaissance. Thanks to a former life as a vaudeville hall (and shoe store), the spacious venue boasts great acoustics and sightlines. Wellknown touring acts, mid-scale indie rockers, and local bands are featured.
-
This is a gem hidden in Grand Central Terminal. These richly paneled, former offices of 1920s railroad tycoon John W. Campbell feature leaded glass, a beautiful painted ceiling, and a carved wood balcony, all inspired by a Florentine palazzo. Single-malt scotches or vintage wines enjoyed with a good cigar are appropriate choices to complement this setting.
