Starting this Thursday we are proud to be hosting a weekly party that features the best live jazz in the city! Going from 6pm – 11pm with no cover charge, guests will be able to groove to great sounds while sipping on Master Mixologist Max’s amazing cocktails and munching on Chef James’ incredible entrees!

The Show:
GP4 draws from a wide lexicon of jazz, blues, R&B and groove-based music. The band members have toured extensively, bringing their sound to jazz festivals, clubs and happenings from Brazil to Prague, from L.A. To Tokyo. The band moves seamlessly through each set, from straight-ahead jazz to an electric, eclectic mix of soulful and groovy vibes. Their ability to move through so many genres, all with a jazz inflection is what makes their music so attractive and entertaining

The Drinks:
Open bar from 6pm-7pm
Rest of the night, Cocktails $9, All Beers $6

The Food:
For this special event, Executive Chef James London will be offering a sharable tapas menu featuring locally sourced modern Japanese-American dishes. Unique plates such as Ginger Fried chicken, Dirty South Dumplings, Yellowtail Tacos and other raw delicacies.

All proceeds from the sale of the Chicken & Dumplings on April 9 will go to the Bini Fund to provided continued relief to areas devastated by Hurricane Sandy, specifically children’s places to play that were washed away by the hurricane.
