The New York Nightout

New York never sleeps. In fact it possibly starts to live up to its actual “work hard, party harder” maxim as night falls. As cosmopolitan its character is during the day it takes on a even more liberal outlook under the night skies. While the music, dance, drinks and relaxed conversation form the essentials of NY nightlife it does not exclude people with different need for relaxation. So adult entertainment is also easily available for those who seek it. I am merely trying to be as comprehensive in my discourse as on places where common people can enjoy some good music and well made drinks.

Blue Water Grill offers a superior restaurant with live jazz booked for downstairs dining area. Call for reservations. No cover, but prices of meals are really steep. Although their website does not mention who's playing, signifying that the jazz is an afterthought. That is, they don't call musicians have achieved some higher position so that they could not complain if the audience becomes noisy with levels starting to peak. So if you want to know who to listen to call for the performance calendar.
55 Bar - Leni and Mike Stern hold and increase your intrigue with casual and deep renditions, you also get to hear Billy Bang, Sweet Georgia Brown and Wayne Krantz for a $3 cover and 2 drink min.
