Baker's Keyboard Lounge

This is the oldest operating jazz club in the world—not the United States, the world! It looks like something straight out of The Godfather—white linens, very dark, very intimate. I swear, you can still feel guys like John Coltrane, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington in here. There’s a very communal U-shaped bar, and the food is absolutely phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and go with the fried chicken and a side order of cabbage.
