Session 73 boasts an unflinching seven night a week lineup of pop and rock while filling a more important niche than ever. The atmosphere at Session is all about food and mood. The small, shareable and international varied dishes encourage cross pollinating and casual sociable dining, while the live music fuses the bustling bar and separate lounge dining room into one scene. Whether you've come to eat or to drink, you're part of the overall scene.

Bar Vespa Loosely modeled after Roman enotecas with a touch of New York glam, Bar Vespa on the Upper East Side is part wine bar, part luxe lounge. Owner Leonard LoRusso serves 100 Italian and Spanish wines in regionally themed flights, and panini and cheese stations feature Balthazar breads and Artisanal formaggi. Chef Kyle Kingrey (Centrofly, Vespa) dispatches a range of assaggini, or small plates, from the open kitchen. For scenesters, there is also a section with low-slung banquettes, a DJ booth and table service.
