Jazz at the New York Super Bowl. Or corporate destination meeting!

If your corporate group got a little spoiled on jazz at last year's Super Bowl in New Orleans, you will hardly miss a beat this week if you know where to go in New York City.

We recommend four diverse after-hours options:

1. Smoke. Near Columbia University, this venue is for the jazz purist looking for a supper club experience.
2. Cafe Du Soleil. Close to smoke, it combines a traditional French cuisine with up-and-coming jazz artists on Friday night.
3. Bill Saxton's in Harlem.  This old-school, Prohibition-era jazz speakeasy is as good as it gets.
4. Arthur's. Located in the West Village, it's not for a large group based on its size.  But Arthurs is lots of fun if you love a funk twist to your jazz music and don't mind dancing until late at night!

Some of the most talented musicians and bands in the world are located in New York and Shackman Associates New York can provide this special kind of entertainment for private corporate parties at major events like the Super Bowl.  Jazz is also a great option for corporate meeting, association convention and destination incentive galas or cocktail hours.  It can be amazing at a summer New York City corporate meeting where a jazz event can be held outdoors.

NYC mass transit adds to its schedule for Super Bowl week

If your company is planning an event around the Super Bowl, consider staying on the other side of the river.  The East River.  The Long Island Railroad today announced it is adding to its train schedule for major routes, which means more off-peak trains after enjoying a corporate event in Manhattan. Whether you are entertaining clients or holding a team building event, mass transit is an obvious choice to optimize your Super Bowl week experience.
