In this issue of Beyond, New York native Reggie Nadelson sings the praises of a seminal Harlem jazz club: the spiritual home of bebop, Minton’s Playhouse. Aside from her work for Departures, Vogue and Condé Nast Traveler, Reggie has written a series of crime novels featuring private eye Artie Cohen, while her new book, At Balthazar: The New York Brasserie at the Center of the World, celebrates 20 years of the famous Manhattan restaurant. “I’d love to visit Antarctica,” she tells us. “It has such a romance, and I hate the summer heat in NYC.”
