Penny S: Free wifi - you know you want it.
Genevieve Gorder: The Bloody marys are famous, secret ingredient...dill

Lauren Ianuzi: if you're looking to avoid the sometimes crowed bar when stopping in for a bite to eat, ask to be seated in the back dining room. the mac and cheese pie is SO good, just prepare to have leftovers.

Louis Vuitton: The crème de la crème in New York Jazz, the Blue Note is more of a shrine to the good old days of jazz. Get tickets to the later show and enjoy a few encore songs!
Lilly Calandrello: The music here is amazing! The list of great artist who have played the Blue Note is phenomenal. The place itself .. not so much. Somewhat of a cave. But I always enjoy it anyway :) Read more.

Rob Jackson: Unusually cool downtown vibe on the Upper East at The Penrose! Awesome bartenders, unique (and delicious) cocktails. Great interior design. Great with friends or a date.
Brendan Clancy: Another loud filament light bulb filled gastropub employing the failsafe method to young professionals wallets of fried pickles, artisanal drinks, mac and cheese and tiles. Tear for Ship of Fools...
Sarah-Jane Purvis: Oyster slides are pretty gross. Taste of the ocean....not in a good way. Didn't make me horny either.
