 The
Scene
With cozy sofas, art-deco wallpaper and top-notch
performances, the Carnegie Club offers the charm
and sophistication of old New York without seeming
kitschy or retro. Waitresses in cocktail dresses
and pearls look like they've stepped out of an
Audrey Hepburn movie, and bookshelves are as
well-stocked as the bar. Sip a Moscow Mule, Aviation
Cocktail or Carnegie Confetti--champagne sweetened
with honey liqueur, pineapple juice and fresh
fruit.
The
Draw
Old-time jazz is piped in on weeknights,
but weekends boast grand live performances.
Finish up your Friday with live jazz presented
by trumpeter and composer Mark Rapp, or check
out the Saturday night mainstay--an evocative
Sinatra tribute with vocalist Cary Hoffman
and an 11-piece orchestra. Sightlines to
the band are limited on the balcony, but
you can still enjoy the space by imagining
Ol' Blue Eyes on stage.
Avoid $20-$30 covers and drink minimums at
the Sunday open jazz jam, and be sure to
let your server know which drink is your
last. You don't have to order a fresh one
to keep the high-priced cocktails coming.
