Sights
Angel Orensanz Foundation
This repurposed old synagogue on the L.E.S. hosts all manner of events—and every single one feels special inside its beautifully decaying walls.
Lenox Lounge
Inside and out, this storied nook is as deco-splendid as it was during the Harlem Renaissance.
Radio City Music Hall
Even the most tedious performance seems classy in Rockefeller Center’s regal palace. Is there another joint in town where heading to the bathroom makes you feel like a monarch?
Blights
Blue Note
One question: What’s with the mirrors? This is New York, not a gentleman’s club in Miami Beach.
Highline Ballroom
Like a high-school gymnasium with the lights dimmed, this recent addition to the music scene is impersonal and antiseptic.
Roseland
A dank room with gloomy lighting, Roseland sweeps you away to bad-taste America, circa 1982. Check your gum at the door, lest you ruin the nasty carpeting.
