Frommer's Review

Boasting a sophisticated retro-speakeasy vibe, the Jazz Standard is one of the city's largest jazz clubs, with well-spaced tables seating 150 and a reasonable $15 to $30 cover. The rule is straightforward, mainstream jazz by new and established musicians, including such stars as Branford Marsalis. Three revolving tribute bands pay tribute to Charles Mingus tunes on weekly "Mingus Mondays," and Sunday afternoons bring on the Jazz for Kids program. A limited menu from Danny Meyer's barbecue joint, Blue Smoke, upstairs, is available. Jazz, blues, and barbecue -- hard to go wrong with that.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
