The Bar/Lounge at The Lucerne Hotel

"This beautifully restored 1904 brownstone, with its extravagant Baroque terracotta entrance, charming rooms and accommodating staff, is just a block from the Museum of Natural History and close to the liveliest stretches of Broadway and Columbus Avenue"

"But if you don't want to dine there, you can sample some of the neighborhood food at nearby Zabar's or H&H Bagels"

"This unusual 1903 structure breaks away from beaux arts in favor of the baroque with an ornately carved, terra-cotta-colored facade"

"Rates include Continental breakfast, and don’t miss the live jazz and blues in the stylish bar and grill"

"The bar draws plenty of regulars with its jazz"
