UPPER EAST SIDE. This Madison Avenue piano bar, named after an author of children's literature, attracts a more mature and well-heeled group of clientele than some of the Upper East Side's other nightspots do. Murals from Ludwig Bemelman's depict scenes from "Madeline" and a few of his other stories, adding nice contrast to the bar's "Old New York" atmosphere. Indeed, this place is reminiscent of the city's classic piano bars – joints where you could enjoy a good drink and great music in relative peace. TRAIN: 6 to 77th St

WEST VILLAGE. The legendary caberet performances staged at this West Villager bring in folks from all walks of life. Indeed, where else but here will you find a theatre whose illustrious alumni include Barbra Steisand, Woody Allen, Lovelady Powell, KT Sullivan and Lea Delaria? The Duplex's Piano Bar, meanwhile, gets kicking at 9pm, when the staff leads the place in a night-long celebration of drinking and open mic performances. TRAIN: 1 or 9 to Christopher St

UPPER EAST SIDE. Fortunately for its boisterous patrons, Brandy's stays open late. This popular piano bar is one part sing-along and two parts lounge. Expect to have a great time here and plan to participate with the staff and largely mixed clientele in the crooning. Regardless, there's something mysteriously elegant about this place. TRAIN: 4, 5, 6 to 86th St

This piano bar features live jazz, sing-alongs and cabaret rooms, which feature comedy groups, musicals, vocal groups and a variety of other acts.

MIDTOWN EAST. The dress code is strictly enforced in this three-part gay club. In other words, don't bother going if you are dressed casually. You will see more suits than anything else, so look the part if you want to get in. The dark wood and lush fabrics found in these three rooms produce a feeling of quiet elegance. The large and lively piano bar is on the same floor with the front lounge, a casual bar with comfy sofas. Downstairs you will find a quiet atmosphere, better suited for conversation. Cash only policy. TRAIN: N, R to Lexington Ave; 4, 5, 6 to 59th St
