(Le) Poisson Rouge: Frequenters call it LPR, but you’ll call this part low-key and part high-concept bar fabulous!

Rockwood Music Hall: Quite cozy, this LES venue enjoys a huge following due to its discriminating mix of singer-songwriters and ambiance. With a stage visible from the street, plenty of café tables and candlelight for maximum flirtation, and a tip jar passed around instead of a cover charge, this place is entirely Diva-worthy.

The Annex: Dark and moody, this rock venue is known for featuring the newest and most noteworthy in DJs and indie rock. Dress for cute rocker boys and the music they love and you might find your new Summer Sometimes at this LES live music staple.

Prohibition: Decidedly swanker than some other noteworthy venues, this UWS venue is perfect for girls night out or snagging a hot new Summer Fling.

Cleopatra’s Needle: This is the place to see live jazz, Diva. Whether you’re in the mood for a cozy date night or you’re looking to flirt with a true jazz aficionado, the intimate cabaret setting features delicious Mediterranean food and a sexy old New York vibe.

Roseland Ballroom, Knitting Factory and Joe’s Pub: No SD list would be complete without the live music venues that make New York famous. These legendary greats always feature the best in up-and-coming and established acts as well as a place where a Diva can have her pick of a variety of gorgeous men.
