Set yourself up for success
Book tickets for the 7:30pm show at Smalls Jazz Club (https://www.smallslive.com/events/calendar/)
Stop by L'Artusi ~7pm and add your name to the waitlist for dinner (or book in advance for ~8:30pm at https://resy.com/cities/ny/lartusi-ny).
Jazz and a drink to start the night
Get to Smalls ~7pm and grab a drink before finding your seats.
Listen to some of the best jazz you can find in NYC.
Arguably New York's best pasta
When L'Artusi calls you (or at the time of your reservation; ~8:30pm), stroll around the corner and take a seat (ideally at the bar, but tables are nice too).
Order as many pastas as possible, but make sure to save room for dessert (their olive oil cake is a must).
Once you've finished at L'Artusi, head around the corner to an unsuspecting door on a corner marked with "LB" (stands for Little Branch).
Head down the stairs for excellent cocktail to end your night.
