If We're All In The Mood For A Melody... NYC's Best Piano Bars

Brandy's Piano Bar Where Is It: 235 E. 84th St., New York, NY 10028 Who Likes It: Anyone who enjoys a laid-back, unpretentious piano bar with a neighborhood-like atmosphere. The Atmosphere: Hidden away on a side street in the most unlikely of places, Brandy's is one of the Upper East Side's best-kept secrets. This intimate spot showcases live talent every night of the week and has been for over 30 years.  When you think of the bar that inspired Billy Joel's hit "Piano Man", this is the type of place you think of.  The regulars add their off-key voices to the melodies and there is is a certain old-timey feel to the place. There is a two drink minimum during the shows, but the drinks are good and fairly inexpensive. [via]
