Look this is New York City doggone it! The center of the universe. If you want cheap admission and $5 cocktails and roomy seating..stay in Kansas.

For the price of admission and the acoustics and the top of the line talent it's a great venue and has been a staple on the NYC jazz scene for decades. You go for the experience!! I will admit that if you're claustrophobic you will be uncomfortable. But if you're visiting us from out of town then just bear with the elbow to elbow seating and enjoy the show. You will be satisfied to have experienced what us NY'ers experience on the subway to work every morning...an invasion of your personal space. But aside from that have a burger a few drinks and enjoy. I love the Blue Note and it's the best spot in town for jazz!
