I've always wanted to go to Michael Feinstein's elegant cabaret room at the Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue) in New York. So I'm putting this on my 2006 New Year's Resolution list.

From the Web site:

This classic nightclub for a new generation is set in an intimate, elegant and comfortable room that seats 140 guests per show. Smaller café-style tables and chairs replace the restaurant's traditional furniture, and the room has been equipped with a state-of-the-art audio system, and special lighting, including theatrical gel lights.

Now it is pricey, since after the cover charge and minimum, you'll probably lay out $100-$125, but it sounds so darned classy who could resist! I can totally picture Nick and Nora flitting in for a quick drink. I mean take a look at just some of the performers they had this fall:

Kitty Carlisle Hart: "By Popular Demand"
Carol Channing: "The First 80 Years Are The Hardest"
Michelle Lee: "Catch The Light"
Kathryn Crosby: "Kathryn Crosby Remembers Bing"
Rip Crystal: "When Jazz Was Pop"
Rebecca Lukor: I saw her in The Music Man and she was terrific. She is doing an evening of songs written by women, which is a very refreshing idea! Beth Blatt, the lyricist of The Mistress Cycle (see my previous post) has a couple of songs on the list. Tres cool!

And of course, Michael Feinstein does his "Holiday Romance" show, and plays New Year's Eve. Ah, I can see the champagne bubbles already.
