Lenox Lounge: Drinks | New York

Beyond its deep jazz heritage, the Harlem landmark carved out a distinct spot in pop culture—serving as a filming location for the 2000 movie Shaft and setting the backdrop for Marc Anthony’s 1999 self-titled album cover. A longtime local mainstay known for late-night jam sessions, cocktails, and chicken and waffles, the physical site has since seen construction reported where the lounge once stood.
