11 Best Jazz Clubs in NYC for World-Class Performers, Live Music, and More | Condé Nast Traveler

"As a newcomer on the Lower East Side, this scene-y spot from the Baby’s All Right team blends solo piano Tuesday–Sunday with late-night bands on weekends and a playful, unfinished interior where nobody takes themselves too seriously. The tiny four-item food menu (fries, wedge salad, two steaks) is surprisingly good; regular sightings of A-listers don’t make it hard to get in, booths and a conversation pit mean there’s usually a place to land, and quirky touches like a brownie sundae in a mug and encouraged crayon doodles keep the mood light. Expect martinis, spilled drinks, and a lively, unpretentious night out." - Jessica Chapel
