This joint is so small, so intimate, and so New Orleans that you may have to pinch yourself to see if you are indeed in Istanbul. Reservations are essential for seating next to the tiny stage, although an additional handful of tables is up on the mezzanine. Live acts cover the full range of jazz interpretations, from classical to modern, to fusion to popular. For program listings, log on to www.nardisjazz.com. Open Monday to Thursday 9:30pm to 12:30am; Friday and Saturday 10:30pm to 1:30am.
