Dinner and a Performance
Let the Music Take Its Time.

The Music Guide
A Stage Within the Evening.
The restaurant presents piano and other live performances, giving a meal on West 52nd Street an extra dimension. Some evenings are simply about listening over dinner; others are promoted as dinner-and-show events.
Because artists, times, and tickets change, this guide does not republish a schedule. Use the official calendar to see what is coming up and whether a particular event requires a separate ticket.
The Essentials
Three Things to Know.
A useful starting point—then follow the restaurant’s own links for information that changes.
Come for the Room
Even without a specific performer in mind, the restaurant’s piano-bar identity shapes the atmosphere.
Check the Calendar
The official event listing is the current source for names, dates, and ticket information.
A Closer Look
Music Makes the Memory.
A live performance can turn dinner into an occasion without making it formal. The setting and menu are there for the full evening; the musician supplies the unrepeatable part.
