Nine joints across this town where the music's actually live and the drinks don't need a password to order. Mix of old Queens wood-paneling and a couple Manhattan spots I'll admit are worth the trip in. Grab a stool, keep your hands where I can see 'em.

NameTickVenueNeighborhoodAddressCityMy take
1Smoke Jazz ClubSmoke Jazz ClubUpper West Side2751 BroadwayNew York, NYSmall room, big sound. Feels like a speakeasy that never got raided. Dress decent, they notice.
2Rockwood Music HallRockwood Music HallLower East Side196 Allen StreetNew York, NYThree stages, no cover half the time. Young crowd, but the talent's real. I don't stay past eleven anymore.
3Bb King Blues ClubBb King Blues ClubTimes Square243 W 42nd StreetNew York, NYTouristy, sure, but the sound system don't lie. Go for the blues, skip the overpriced nachos.
4The Flatiron RoomThe Flatiron RoomFlatiron37 W 26th StreetNew York, NYWhiskey list longer than my old rap sheet of collars, live jazz every night. Pricey, but it's a once-in-a-while kinda spot. Over and out.
