This charming and friendly piano bar with wooden zebra kitsch and zebra-striped lanterns is located on the first floor of a vintage apartment building. The space is so small you have to leave to change your mind. This old-school haunt has been around since 1933. Expect live music, mostly piano standards, seven nights a week. Cozy up in one of the black leather booths and just kick back with a martini and enjoy.
