38. Lenox Lounge 288 Malcolm X Boulevard
between W. 124th and W.125th Streets, east side
This lively
jazz establishment is a classic example of art deco lounge
design from the 1930's. It has operated continuously since
opening over 50 years ago and still features live performances.
The newly-renovated interior retains the original art deco
lighting fixtures, bar, and other details that have made it
a popular location for Hollywood film makers and magazine
photo shoots. Stop by and savor the ambience of the days when
jazz ruled Harlem. (Call 212-722-9566 for performance schedules.)
