Nestled somewhere between the Chrysler building and Gramercy Park, this nondescript stretch of Manhattan is often overlooked. Once ranked as America’s bro-iest neighborhood (seriously), there’s actually much to love in Murray Hill/Kips Bay. And for those who explore it, little pops of character and hidden gems might just take you by surprise.

As if it weren't enough to open a seriously smokin' bbq restaurant (with a massive bourbon list and industrial style to spare), the owners of Blue Smoke also operate the top notch Jazz Standard in the space downstairs. Lucky for you, Danny Meyer's southern menu can be enjoyed in both venues. Come for the BBQ, stay for the Jazz.
