"We’re not going to assume why or how you decided on a Broadway birthday, but one of the better options for your night is The Twelve Thirty Club. Big groups can fit at spacious banquettes and long tables, most of which have great views of the live music on stage. Order a round of crisp, dirty martinis and then segue into some skillet cornbread and a shareable seafood tower. After you’ve slurped the last oyster, stick around for that live act or wander downstairs to the honky-tonk on the ground floor. And if you feel drawn to venture out onto the strip, godspeed." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
