Im visiting family in Long Island and would love to go into the city for a night out at a jazz club with my friends but our ages range and the youngest is 18... any ideas? Preferably not ridiculously expensive ha ha. Thanks everyone!|||You can get into any venue that is classified as a restaurant and some of the restaurants that feature jazz are:
The Blue Note, Iridium, The Jazz Standard, BB King's (take note though they don't have jazz often, you have to watch the listings), Lucille's at BB Kings (a small room next to the main room where there is never any cover) - they don't always have jazz either and definitely no big name artists, so you'll have to watch the listings. In all the venues that you have to pay to get in, admission varies depending on the artist.
You may be able to get into the Lenox Lounge in Harlem...I'm not sure about their policy though. They serve food in the back room, not so much the front.
Boom on Wooster Street is a younger hang out that often has jazz...a friend of mine plays there most Thursday nights and I've performed there with him on a number of occasions. I've had friends who were under age come in with no problem.
There are tons of little places all over the city. You can look most of them up on Hothouse, a local jazz publication that comes out monthly here in New York. http://www.hothousejazz.com/hotclubs.htm
