"A swanky, long-running piano lounge perched just off a hotel lobby that has served Upper East Side sippers for nearly 80 years; classic martinis are a specialty, traditionally backed by an iced-down sidecar, while nightly live jazz and the signature mural-lined walls create an elegant, music-forward ambiance. The space has enjoyed a recent resurgence in popularity—drawing a younger crowd—and now often levies a $10–$35 cover charge." - Brad Japhe
