Editorial Review of Green Dolphin Street

You can catch live music here every night of the week (Mondays are reserved for the Boom Boom Room industry night), running the gamut from big band and bebop to Latin jazz and salsa lessons accompanied by live DJs. The sophisticated club is warm and candle-lit, with thick red curtains shutting out distractions from next door.

Typically well-dressed crowds (no hats or athletic wear allowed) gather around the wood-paneled bar or at one of the many white-clothed tables, sipping martinis and mixed drinks for $6 and up. Peek past the curtains in back and you'll find a second, smaller bar leading out to several party rooms and the patio, which is open in warmer months. Pizza, wine and more are available at the adjacent Orvieto.

Average cost: $21-$30

Centerstage's Tips

Before the show, make time for a long wait and adventurous cuisine (think sweetbreads) at The Bristol or crunch into the caramelized cheese crust at Pequod's Pizza.

After the music's over, savor a glass of Pinot at Webster's Wine Bar.
