New York restaurants with live jazz music

World-class jazz is taking New York by storm. With the summer season reaching its peak and the days getting longer, there’s no better time to hit up a good restaurant (or cocktail bar) and enjoy a relaxing evening filled with jazz.

From the staple NYC Gotham restaurant (for a Michelin star), to the brand new NYY Steak at the Hard Rock Hotel New York and the Panorama Room perched atop Graduate Roosevelt Island with views of three boroughs, there are plenty of options across the town.

These upscale New York restaurants serve great food and cocktails accompanied by live jazz music.

NYY Steak (159 W 48th St, New York, NY) is an upscale steakhouse restaurant concept created as a joint venture between the New York Yankees and Hard Rock International.

An innovative and refined dining experience, this restaurant has Mozambican wood paneled walls that are complemented by autographs of famous players. Heritage-sourced steaks, locally sourced seafood and creative main courses are served on fine china emblazoned with player numbers in the franchise’s iconic badge. NYY Steak offers rare steaks, including the legendary Japanese A5 “Snow Beef” from Hokkaido, as well as traditional cuts. American steakhouse favorites are also highlighted.

Panoramic room

Located on the 18th floor at the crowning of the building, Panoramic room (22 N Loop Rd, New York, NY) is a rooftop lounge with stunning New York views and craft cocktails. Hospitality duo and New York natives Marc Rose and Med Abrous of Call Mom have partnered with award-winning James Beard Parts and Labor.
