The Astor Room

"The only thing better than brunch is Jazz Brunch," reads The Astor Room website. We'd have to agree, though we're quick to point out that piano cocktail music is on the menu every Wednesday - Sunday during dinner. Located in Queens, The Astor Room at Kaufman Astoria Studios bills itself as food meets music meets bar, and is helmed by Chef Nathanial Felder, the former chef at Catch and Lavo in Manhattan. Impressive architectural details like the marble staircase and painted terracotta tiles are all original from the 1920s, and provide the perfect backdrop for a glamorous and romantic evening out in Astoria.
