Address: 132 W 65th St, Frederick P. Rose Hall at Lincoln Center, New York, NY
Ritzy Lincoln Center may seem like an odd place to go if you're looking to find some of the Big Apple's coolest, keenest jazz. After all, everybody knows the best jazz dens are dank, smoky hideaways, right? Well, Dizzy's dispels that myth with a fury. Young and emerging performers are given time on Monday nights (always rewarding shows), and the...

Address: 1650 Broadway, New York, NY 10019
At Broadway and 51st, Iridium hosts an impressive repertoire of jazz acts every month, including guitar legend Les Paul every Monday. Inside, you'll find a scene that looks like something out of a postmod painting – stylishly sitting on the cusp of absurdity and funkiness. Nevertheless, this is a cool place to stop by. Students with ID get half...

Address: 183 W 10th, New York, NY 10014
If you're out to experience jazz at its dive bar best, this snug spot on West 10th is back again after taking a long sabbatical (there were more than a few tears when it closed in 2003 after a decade-long run of great music). Smalls, once again, has emerged as a great place to catch a live performance and its subterranean confines now boast a cool...

Upscale yet not at all stuffy, the redbrick space is long and narrow, and seating is available at the tile-topped bar as well as the handful of intimate, cafe-style tables lined along the wall. As for the crowd, look for a sophisticated...

Address: 149 Bleecker St, between Thompson St and LaGuardia Pl, New York, NY 10012
Terra Blues sits between LaGuardia and Thompson, right in the heart of the West Village. This small blues lounge attracts a more well-heeled crowd than most of its counterparts, which is due in part to its romantic, almost adult atmosphere. Enjoy the soulful sounds of traditional blues performers. The best tables are located near the windows, but...
