Close Up

The 15 Best Jazz Clubs In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Close Up might be the most appropriately named bar or restaurant in NYC, because you’ll never be more than 15 feet away from the musicians. This relatively new spot on the Lower East Side serves creative cocktails in an intimate concert space, and draws some pretty big names on the weekends. If you’re a jazz aficionado, you’ll love Close Up for the music. If not, it's still a great place to take a date—as long as you respect the unwritten no-talking-while-music-is-playing policy." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, matt tervooren, will hartman
