Frank Sinatra and Manhattan will always be synonymous, and there is no better soundtrack for a night out in the city than “New York, New York”. That iconic jazz-inspired phrasing is taking over Sony Hall with two distinct live tributes. Candlelight Jazz: Tribute to Frank Sinatra strips his repertoire down for an intimate, classical performance, while The Jazz Room: A Frank Sinatra & Louis Armstrong Tribute widens the spotlight to celebrate two of the genre’s greatest artists.

Candlelight Jazz: Tribute to Frank Sinatra
On select dates, this live music concert reimagines hits like “New York, New York”, “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Strangers in the Night” with a more intimate approach. Surrounded by a sea of twinkling candles, a talented string quartet is set to serenade guests with a 12-piece setlist that recreates Sinatras biggest hits. Food and drinks are available to purchase, and an optional three-course dinner is also listed.
The Jazz Room: A Frank Sinatra & Louis Armstrong Tribute
This next live show is all about jazz. For a completely different approach, Sinatra’s melodies share the spotlight with Louis Armstrong’s trumpet-forward classics, this January. The two legends were lifelong friends and they performed together countless times—so the concept behind the concert seems like a match made in heaven.
A local jazz band weaves in their own improvised solos, making hits like “My Way” and “What a Wonderful World” feel brand-new.
Sinatra’s love for the city
From his early solo appearances at the Paramount Theatre to taking the stage at Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden, Sinatra was building a history with the city’s music venues. Now, you can hear his music reimagined at one of NYC’s glamorous 1930s basement nightclubs.
Then, there’s “New York, New York”. Liza Minnelli may have introduced the song in Martin Scorsese’s 1977 film, but the “Chairman of the Board” turned it into a cultural monolith. By the time he released his 1980 cover, Sinatra’s relationship with Manhattan was already decades old—yet this was the track that forever cemented his voice as the official soundtrack of the city.
It resonated so deeply that it became the New York Yankee’s anthem, echoing across the stadium for over 45 years.
Sony Hall: one of Manhattan’s swanky 1930s subterranean lounges
Located in the Theater District just steps from Times Square, this charming venue was once home to Billy Rose’s Diamond Horseshow. The space welcomed dining, dancing, burlesque shows and live music. Today, with its Art Deco and Baroque details, and excellent acoustics, it is considered one of the best NYC venues.
