Nestled behind Carnegie Hall on 56th Street is the Carnegie Club. This classy joint not only offers quality cigars but they also have an impressive list of exclusive cocktails!

If you find yourself there on a Saturday the club hosts “Sinatra Saturdays” where they pay tribute to the classic artist with talented musicians and an 11 piece orchestra.

Located in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Club Macanudo is another luxury cigar spot that ranks among the best in the city.

The Grande Lounge includes a full service bar, private dining suites and a magnificent walk-in glass enclosed humidor vault. The specially engineered ventilation system inside the Grand Havana Room results in a smokeless comfortable environment.

For those looking to strictly enjoy cigars and nothing else there is the Velvet Lounge. While

more on the serious side of cigars, the Velvet Lounge does not offer food or beverages, just a fine selection of boutique cigars. This East Village cigar spot does allow BYOB, which is an excellent affordable option for those looking to indulge in spirits as well as cigars. If you’re looking for more of a luxurious experience the Velvet Lounge does offer memberships.
