The first time Eddie Murphy came into the club, he was only 18 and had a little too much attitude. A few days later, he apologized and we gave him a shot. Saturday Night Live soon followed and the rest is show biz history. Eddie in turn discovered Chris Rock at The Comic Strip one night. Rolling Stone magazine recently described Rock's career as "ballistic." Like so many acts, television Superstar Jerry Seinfeld worked for many years at the Comic Strip. Everybody called Seinfeld "Doctor Comedy" because there wasn't a bit Jerry couldn't fix. Paul Reiser was asked by a fellow Comic Strip performer to accompany him to a film audition. The Director asked Paul if he wanted to read for the part as well. He did and got the part! That film was "Diner" and it launched Paul's illustrious career.

The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long elevated rail structure set to open in 2008 as a public open space. Running through the West Side neighborhoods of the Meatpacking District, West Chelsea and Clinton/Hell's Kitchen, it was built in the 1930s to remove dangerous trains from Manhattan’s streets. No trains have run on it since 1980. Friends of the High Line (FHL), a community-based 501(c)(3) non-profit group, formed in 1999 when the historic structure was under threat of demolition. FHL is currently working with the City of New York to transform the structure into a park. The High Line south of 30th Street was donated to the City by CSX Transportation in 2005. The team of Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro is now at work on a design for the High Line’s public landscape. Construction began in spring 2006. The first phase (Gansevoort Street to 20th Street) is projected to open in 2008. For more information, and to see designs for the new park, please visit www.thehighline.org.

Tucked away just off Queens Boulevard, this spot brings together cold-weather comfort and lively energy year-round. The 13 plasma screens mean you're never missing the action, whether it's playoff season or catching up on your favorite teams. The kitchen handles both hearty classics and creative cocktails that hit different on chilly evenings, while the atmosphere works equally well for a laid-back guys' hangout or when the crew gets together for their night out. Winter or otherwise, there's a reason people keep coming back to find their crowd here.

The moment those doors swing open, you're stepping into a space where the energy crackles—especially on those crisp winter evenings when the warmth inside feels like an embrace. Grab a cocktail crafted with care, order something from the kitchen, and settle in for live music that fills every corner of the room. You'll be inches away from the stage where legends have actually stood and played. This Manhattan institution has hosted everyone from Tony Bennett to Ray Charles, Oscar Peterson to Natalie Cole, Sarah Vaughan to Dizzy Gillespie. The place carries the weight of that history in the best way—it's a room where jazz, blues, latin, Brazilian, fusion, R&B, soul, and contemporary acts all find their moment under the lights. What started as a jazz destination has grown into something broader. Any given night might bring you face to face with world-class performers across multiple genres, all in an intimate setting where you can actually feel the music rather than just hear it.

ALL ABOUT JAZZ - November 2002 Issue - Like most Americans born in the 1960s, Iridium Jazz Club owner Ron Sturm grew up with rock 'n' roll, not jazz. "I got more involved with jazz when I was in college at Boston University," Sturm says. "Boston was really hot then - there were a lot of jazz clubs and good things happening, and I caught a lot of shows." When the Sturm family decided to open a club, Ron is the one who suggested jazz. The name Iridium was chosen for several reasons. Iridium is a silvery white metal, but the word derives from iris, so it also refers to a rainbow. The Sturms liked the sound of the word, and better yet someone told them that saxophones were once lined with iridium.

Walk through the doors of this legendary Manhattan venue and you're stepping into decades of showbiz history. The stage launched careers for everyone from Danny Thomas to the Martin and Lewis duo, each performance adding another layer to the nightclub's mystique. Barry Manilow immortalized the place in his 1978 hit, while filmmakers from Scorsese to beyond have used its intimate ambiance as a backdrop for cinema magic—Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Tootsie, Carlito's Way, and Beyond the Sea all featured scenes within these walls. Winter evenings here carry an especially electric charge, the kind of crisp Manhattan night that makes you feel like you've slipped into a scene from a classic film. The venue continues to capture that intoxicating blend of glamour and grit that defined New York's golden age of nightlife.

Walk into a space where improvisation meets intention, where musicians translate raw emotion into sound in real time. The genre's roots run deep through American culture, drawing from African rhythmic traditions, gospel intensity, blues vulnerability, and the creative resilience of communities who turned struggle into art. What emerged was something entirely new—music that refuses to sit still, that breathes and changes with each performance. The word itself carries history, once tied to underground venues and spaces pushed to society's margins. But the music transcended those origins, becoming a sophisticated art form celebrated worldwide. Whether a musician follows a composed structure or ventures into spontaneous territory, jazz demands conversation between players and audience alike. Winter evenings hit differently here. The warmth radiating from the stage, the intimate crowd gathered close, the way breath becomes visible in the cool air outside—it all sharpens the experience. There's something about experiencing live improvisation when the world outside feels still and cold that makes the energy onstage feel even more alive, more urgent, more human.

The house band for the Live Rock N Roll Karaoke night at Arlene’s Grocery, subscribe to a theory.

Today, time and the eternal bottom line have distilled the Vanguard experience down to the essentials: music, drinks (no coffee or tea) and history. The angled walls display generation-old photographs and posters of those who once regularly played the room: Charles Mingus. Dexter Gordon. Elvin Jones. A battered tuba breaks the array, and an unusual double-belled euphonium (a gift from trumpeter Jabbo Smith, it turns out) hangs above the bar.<br> It may seem so artfully minimal, but then jazz culture has always prized economy over embellishment. Still, Ms. Gordon feels that "this little old club deserves a birthday of its own. It's going to get a cake and a buffet: a real party for a 70-year-old grande dame." The celebration will last a full week, from Feb. 14 to 20, featuring a new or established Vanguard favorite headlining each night: trumpeter Roy Hargrove, the jazz-rock trio Bad Plus, guitarist Jim Hall, Philadelphia's famed Heath Brothers, and pianist Bill Charlap.

Opening in 1961 on Bleecker Street, this Greenwich Village fixture has hosted some of the most pivotal moments in folk and rock history.
