The Green Mill

Editorial Review

You can feel the history in the air at this beautiful jazz club from the 1930s. An antique bar, deep red booths and dusty paintings have remained unchanged since James Caan blew the place up in the 1981-movie "Thief." If you're young, loud and drunk, prepare to get shushed throughout moody jazz performances. (An underground network of secret tunnels and rooms, used when the place was a speakeasy, is still intact.)
