Early this January my wife and I decided to take the kids to New York. My son wanted to see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, and with the recent announcement that they would be closing the show soon, we decided to make a long weekend out of it. One of the fun things we did was to have dinner at the Birdland Jazz Club. Birdland is a jazz club located in New York City that has been in operation since 1949, although it has moved locations three times and is now located near Broadway on 44th Street.
