Joe,

Tell your friend  to go to the Cajun on Mon or Tue, music starts about 8:00 
PM.  You can sit at the bar in the other room & still hear the music.  To 
sit in the room where the music is, you have to buy dinner.  Dinners are 
good & not at all over priced.

On Tue night, early evening, Birdland, about 48th St. at 8th Ave. 5:30 - 
7:30 PM.  There is a good jazz band with Jon-Erik Kellso, Dan Levinson, John 
Allred, etc.  Of course, they are often out of town.  When they are, there 
are good subs.

Your friend can go to Birdland, leave at 7:30, hop on the subway right there 
& in 10 minutes, be at 16th St. & 8th Ave where the Cajun is.
