Why you should go…
Blue Note opened in Greenwich Village in 1981, founded by Danny Bensusan on the idea of putting big jazz acts in a comfortable room with good food. Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, Oscar Peterson and Ray Charles have all played here. The club holds about 200 guests, with table seating for all ages and a bar area for those 21 and over. Seating is first come, first served, so arrive early, and expect a full bar and a contemporary American menu.
