7 Jazz Clubs & Bars in Greenwich Village That You Shouldn't Miss
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

Ok first up this is a place I've always wanted to visit as I own several albums that were recorded here. The atmosphere is intimate and friendly, sound perfect and only a one drink minimum required. It is not by any means glamorous or glitzy but would have been disappointed had it been so, as many heritage music venues are now basically tourist traps.

Jazz lovers from around the world or those looking for a typical and intimate New York cultural experience are advised to come to the little pub on W 10th st. Called the Smalls Jazz Club. The place has been operating for over 20 years and host talented players and bands. The atmosphere is intimate and close, and the front row people can really touch the artist's soul, okay sometimes even his foot or cello ... I already said - a unique experience ... :) The original owner of the place, Mitch Borden is usually at the entrance and responsible for the line.He opened a pub of the same style, also in the village called Mezzrow. Make sure to check the home page and follow the show schedule. a one hour arrival is recommanded.

This small underground jazz club is New York to a T and I’d recommend it in a (New York) minute. There is no cover (except when there are famous acts playing where there may be a charge), you just buy a drink to support the venue and sit down to enjoy some swinging jazz. It attracts a local crowd and the neighbourhood vibe is one of its calling cards. I came and enjoyed a few sets on a Sunday afternoon. The club is located right near the Stonewall Inn. Table service is available for drinks.
