Steps from Times Square, the club is known as Broadway’s living room, a home away from home for Broadway professionals and audiences alike. With pre-theatre dinner offered nightly from 5pm, Feinstein’s/54 Below has set a new culinary standard for New York City entertainment venues. In June of 2012, the club opened under the name 54 Below. The space underwent a complete reinvention by multiple Tony Award-winning producers Tom Viertel, Marc Routh, Richard Frankel and Steve Baruch (Hairspray, The Producers), who brought together Broadway’s and New York’s most creative artists and designers as well as top food and hospitality professionals to launch and oversee this only-in-Manhattan, matchless nightspot. On September 17, 2015, through a creative partnership with Michael Feinstein, the Ambassador of the American Songbook, 54 Below was renamed Feinstein’s/54 Below. 9:30 PM-----Gloria Reuben: A Shirley Horn Valentine Join actress/singer Gloria Reuben for an intimate evening of music in celebration of Valentine’s Day, filled with the well loved songs recorded by the incomparable Shirley Horn.

Gloria plans to please her audience with favorites like “If You Love Me,” “A Time For Love,” “Jelly Jelly,” and of course “Here’s To Life”. Gloria is best known as an Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award nominated actress with acclaimed roles in the TV series ER, Raising The Bar, Falling Skies, Mr. Robot, the upcoming new Marvel TV show Cloak and Dagger, and many more.
