So & So's

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

Inside the Romer Hotel in Hell's Kitchen, So & So's is a piano bar with velvet seats and big banquettes, built around Broadway talent playing the keys live Tuesday through Saturday. The cocktail list comes from a bartender who used to dance backup for Alicia Keys and Lady Gaga, and the kitchen sends out family-style plates like Oysters Rockefeller alongside them. A weekly singalong night, Schticky Fingers, turns the room over to requests and campy classics. Live sets carry a per-person entertainment charge, and the room is 21 and up.
