Why you should go…

Birdland opened in 1949 on Broadway and took its name from alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, known as Bird. The original room was called the Jazz Corner of the World and hosted Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Count Basie. Today the club sits on West 44th Street in the Theater District, where it has been since 1996. Two rooms, the Jazz Club and the Birdland Theater, each have their own menu and schedule of sets, with a food or drink minimum per person for each set.
