When you step into the revered Lenox Lounge, you're taking a step back in time. Famous for showcasing acts like Billie Holiday in its Zebra Room, and attracting regulars like Isaac Hayes, James Baldwin and Malcolm X, Lenox Lounge has survived both urban decay and urban renewal. Opened in 1939 and refurbished after a shaky period in the '80s, it has regained its Art Deco splendor, and continues to entertain an interesting mix of dressy locals -- who look cinematic in the loveseat-sized banquettes -- a smattering of tourists here for the music, and workaday regulars stopping by in the afternoon for their usual drinks and plate of porgy and grits. Its classic style has attracted a host of film shoots, including 'Dead Presidents,' 'White Lies,' and 'Bullet.' But what remains most impressive about this Harlem haunt is its incredible staying power. -- Dan Glass

The Best Service Ever...
By ian1069james on 03/12/2007
On the weekend of February 23-24, 2007, I took a few friend visiting from Europe to Lenox Lounge with a few friends from work and we had the best time ever. The jazz show was $20 per person (very reasonable) and the menu selection and food quality was one of the best in NYC. It was great to take friends from Europe to visit such a historic landmark. I would highly recommend the seafood gumbo! I.T. James Investment Banker

My girlfriend and I had dinner at Lenox Lounge the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and we were not disappointed. We were in NYC for the night (Philly residents), and decided to have dinner here. The Ribs, Mac&Cheese, Yams, were fantastic. The waiter was a little slow, but very polite. The barmaid made us some drinks (whiskey sours), and the atmosphere was very retro. I am planning to have dinner here again soon, and this time with my husband.
