This time of year, you’re feeling mood indigo.
Everyone’s jetting off to exotic locales, while you’re stuck in an uninspired rhythm. (Note to self: Watching Grey’s Anatomy in underpants does not count as actual plans.)
That Nat King Cole was right: You don’t get around much anymore.
Put an end to the monotony with a trip on the 3, or the A-train (if you please), to Big Apple Jazz/EZ’s Woodshed. The community-centered take on the Harlem jazz cafe opens its doors today — on the same strip where Louis and Fats once played.
Troll the CD collection for Dizzy, Duke, and of-the-moment neighborhood acts. Then head toward the baby grand, take a seat on a tractor stool, and listen to local greats like Leeolive Tucker and Eric Reed bring the down the house.
If you’re really in the mood, the artwork on the walls is ready to come home with you.
Which is more than you can say for McDreamy.
Big Apple Jazz/EZ’s Woodshed, 2236 7th Avenue, between 131st and 132nd Streets (212-283-5299 or bigapplejazz.com).
