I understand that there are many people who cannot live their lives without criticizing the others' work while they are probably failing in their own lives. For these people, who were probably dreaming to be famous critics (but could not make it, may be 'cause they aren't good enough) the opportunity to write on Tripadvisor is such a great chance...

Heard about Lennox Lounge from a friend who used to play there. I'm not a Jazz fan by any means, but one trip here can convert you. We went on a Saturday.

The Lenox Lounge is a neighborhood icon with slick decor, a cool setting and good, solid jazz. The bar is stocked, the drinks are always poured strong and is the easiest to get to of the good Harlem Jazz spots still in existence. That said, they find a way to take lots of money from you.
