The Game Plan

What to do

Summer Fridays get all the love, but when you’re looking to extend your weekend, don’t forget about long Sunday nights.

Terraza 7 is an ideal place to savor the evening. This Queens jazz club, which narrowly avoided becoming a high-rise last year, is a beloved fixture in one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in the country. And on Sunday nights, $7 grants you access to their jazz jam upstairs.

You’ll find this homey bar, painted splashy orange and blue, tucked into a residential block off a bustling strip of Roosevelt Avenue between Jackson Heights and Elmhurst. Once you’ve ordered off its chalkboard menu, carry your drink up the cast-iron steps to the intimate, trapezoidal loft where you’ll find patrons lining bleacher seats, preparing for the musicians to take the stage.
