This historic jazz club is famous for its laundry list of reputable past acts and the spectacular acoustics of its wedge-shaped performance space. Arrive with your date not only ready to be enraptured by gorgeous sounds as you sit in the cozy room, but armed with bits of back-story with which to impress. Once a prohibition-era speakeasy called the Golden Triangle, the club opened as the Village Vanguard in 1935 and offered an array of entertainment including comedy, cabaret, and many varieties of music. Going strictly jazz in 1957, the place has since become famous for boosting the careers of countless genre greats, as the memorabilia lining the walls and numerous live-album recordings will attest. Arrive a little early to the romantic triangle basement room to snag a quieter table, where you and your date can both chat and be dizzied by beautiful, inspired music.
