Since 1939 the Lexox Lounge has played host to such musical greats as Billie Holliday, John Coltrane and Miles Davis. The Lenox Lounge has been recently renovated, recapturing some of its past greatness after suffering for many years. Harlem Nights is a potent Lenox Lounge cocktail that is surprisingly delicious, despite the seemingly hodge-podge ingredient list.
