When a places calls itself The Nines, you expect a spot that is decked out. That’s exactly what The Nines delivers — in the form of a damn sexy NYC jazz club and piano bar.

Instead, expect extremely attractive people noshing on caviar. Overview The Nines brings back dressing for dinner…

This isn’t a new restaurant, but oldies and goodies need love, too. It’s also a cool concept that pairs your seven-course meal with your favorite song — played on vinyl, no less. That’s legit.

Overview Though the property was originally home to the hedonistic, La Zambra has been completely refurbished under the Hyatt…
