Every city and season has its own soundtrack. To me, New York City during the fall is a mixture of big band music and jazz. A mixture of Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, and Brubeck’s “Take 5,” play on repeat as I wander through the streets of NYC during autumn.

The Empire Hotel has a rooftop bar that overlooks Lincoln Center and on certain nights of the week there’s a jazz band that performs.
