Jazz at Lincoln Center

Type: Live Music

10Best Says

Want to grab dinner in a buzzy basement boite? Take in incredible views of Central Park at night? Or hear live performances hand-picked by one of the greatest jazz trumpeters alive today? Look no further. Jazz at Lincoln Center is your one-stop shop for all things swank, sleek and swingin'. The venue includes the glamorous Allen Room, a windowed space overlooking Central Park and modeled after a Greek amphitheater, as well as the 1200-seat Rose Theater, which sits five stories above Columbus Circle. Both host events and artists selected by artistic director Wynton Marsalis, such as the prestigious John Coltrane Festival. Wash it all down with a tipple or two at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, the hip subterranean restaurant with a Southern-style menu.

Jazz & Blues Clubs: "The house that Wynton built continues to make headlines. In January 2014, financier Robert J. Appel donated a whopping $20 million towards the organization, one of the largest single private contributions to jazz music in history."

Best for Jazz & Blues Clubs Because: Breathtaking interiors and Wynton Marsalis-approved acts make Jazz at Lincoln Center a bona fide showstopper.
