Description
This Upper West Side nightspot, named after a Central Park monument, combines two things New Yorkers rarely see together: free entry and fantastic live jazz. The Mediterranean fare is simple, with familiar names and ingredients, and the drink list is similarly so, though the bartenders will whip up any requests. The combination works because you came here for the music, not to decipher a hieroglyphic-themed menu.
