Uptown Jazz Lounge, New York

Uptown Jazz Lounge - "Welcome to Minton's. The classic '30s Harlem jazz house that discovered legends like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk. Shuttered down in '74 (after an unfortunate foray into disco), Minton's is reopened with its original giant neon sign blazing on the corner, and small stage dusted off and ready to make more history. Inside, settle in and order a Sugar Hill Golden Ale from Veronica, and kick back with the rest of the diverse, laid-back crowd: Japanese businessmen, hipsters, and, of course, old school Minton's patrons in suits and cravats (with trumpets tucked under their arms)." Minton's, also called Uptown Jazz Lounge, can be found at 210 W 118th St in Manhattan.
