Sista's place is great !! One of the last few authentic places where you can listen to real jazz in NYC. You can find there the true atmosphere - relaxed and joyful - of jazz concerts - nothing like the pretentious clubs in Manhattan. They also serve drinks and if you wish you can order food at Angela's across the street and bring it in.

One of my favorite places in New York. It's a large. beautiful space. You can't beat free live music. Their house DJ is great, with fun mixes, relevant to the type of performer they have each night. Drinks are reasonably priced for the city. Go a bit early to get a good seat. Performances start promptly at 9,.

You step foot in here, and it's a Throwback from 1970s and 80s. Let me be clear, this is not a 'Meatpacking District' hipster or trendy spot. At. All. Frank's holds something sacred: a straight up, old/school lounge bar.

We tell the stories of immigrants who started their lives anew on Manhattan's Lower East Side between the 19th and 21st centuries through the recreated apartment and businesses of real families in our two historic tenement buildings. Our tenements housed over 15,000 working class immigrants from over 20 nations while they served as residences. They faced challenges we understand today: making a new life, working for a better future, starting a family with limited means. In recognizing the importance of this seemingly ordinary building, the Tenement Museum has re-imagined the role that museums can play in our lives.

This is ground zero for Central Asian hot spots. Nargis Cafe endures as a real treat. Composed of a front bar area and larger, brighter dining room, the entire space is brought together with marvelous Persian rugs and exotic pierced-metal sconces. Nargis hits a strong stride among the locals for its convivial vibe and unique repertoire of dishes that may include a bojon salad of smoky eggplant tossed with garlic, peppers, carrots, and cucumber. Kebabs are taken seriously here, so try the succulent lamb with chopped onion and dill. MICHELIN GUIDE Sunday -Wednesday open till 11PM Thursday-Midnight Friday/Saturday-1Am

Creative Pan-Asian spot best known for its takes on rarely encountered traditional Filipino fare. Even if you live nowhere near Ditmas, Purple Yam’s best dishes are worth an excursion. Filipino artist Perry Mamaril (also a former Cendrillon sous chef) helped transform a former 99 store into an Asian retreat, with a bamboo light fixture that glows gold behind the bar. The restaurant’s superior chicken adobo, the national dish of the Philippines, features on-the-bone nuggets braised in a soy-vinegar mixture cooked down to a syrup. The dish is simple and remarkably rich, with a buttery finish that comes from the last-minute addition of coconut milk. 5:30 - 10:30 Daily
