Patrick's Place

On our list of the best live music venues in New York.

More than thirty years ago, a beef patty shop on the streets of Manhattan grew into this Harlem dining room, now run by its founder and his wife. Live jazz plays Thursday through Saturday nights, backing a Jamaican menu of jerk chicken, oxtail and escovitch fish, and Sunday brings a jazz brunch with a cover at the door and a weekly jam session that puts local musicians on the stand.
