Session 73, New York

Patrons at Session 73 satiate not only their taste buds but also their eardrums by devouring casual American fare in a restaurant and lounge that fuses its dining and bar areas with the thumping beats of live music. The menus of casual American fare and music—the latter of which has featured such bands as Sideways, The Ronald Reagans, and Daddy NoBux—have even been known to draw in celebrities such as Kate Hudson, Will Ferrell, and Jimmy Fallon.

In addition to a local artist showcase on Sunday, Session 73 reverberates with live rock rhythms every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and pulses with salsa music on Monday, as patrons swivel their hips and waggle their ears on the dance floor. Craft cocktails sporting clever names such as Lemon Ginger Mojito and Gin and Jam Martini keep the movements fluid.
