Off Times Sq, this bird's got a slick look, not to mention the legend - its name dates from
bebop legend Charlie Parker (aka 'Bird'), who headlined at the previous location on 52nd
St, along with Miles, Monk and just about everyone else (you can see their photos on the
walls). The lineup is always stellar. (
