t Nick's Pub is an intimate, unpretentious, jazz spot with history seeping from it's walls. It's easy to pass by the rickety door on 149th & St Nick and pay it no mind. For me, in a time of high flying singers and robot performers {anyone watch The Grammy's?} there is something pure and refreshing about listening to artists on a small stage with a few spot lights share their talent. It's this type of simplicity that makes me proud to call Harlem home. To live in a community where strangers wish you Happy New Year as you pass them on the street, or will help you carry a heavy package to your apartment is truly priceless in this unforgiving city. I can only hope that St Nick's Pub has a few more good years in her.
Be sure to stop by Devin's Seafood if you get hankering for some tasty fish. It's right on St Nick between 147th & 148th. I had such a lovely chat with the owner Wally, who is quite the world traveler and very friendly.
