Located in the funky East Village, Chumley's was once all male. That ale comes two mugs at a time and in only two versions, light and dark. But don't think you can sit and sip. People have been kicked out of Chumley's for not drinking the ale fast enough. No other recipe could keep a place open for 150 years.
Jazz clubs are a New York specialty.
Birdland opened in 1949 on 52nd Street. The club moved to Harlem in 1986 and then back to midtown ten years later. Today, Birdland sits on 44th Street, just a few blocks south of its original location. Birdland has gone a little corporate today with group tours and merchandise for sale.
