54 Below Gets a New Partner (& New Name!) with Cabaret Staple Michael Feinstein

54 Below is going by a (somewhat) new name later this year. The midtown hotspot will partner with cabaret honcho Michael Feinstein, resulting in a new name: Feinstein’s/54 Below. Feinstein will play his first engagement of his own at the venue from December 20-30.

Feinstein’s credits and accolades include numerous Grammy-nominated recordings and TV specials; his nightclub Feinstein’s at the Nikko opened in San Francisco in May 2013. His previous New York mainstay, Feinstein’s at Loews Regency Hotel, closed at the end of 2012.

“I've watched 54 Below light up Times Square as the number one destination for live entertainment and great food,” Feinstein said in a statement. “I am thrilled to join the Tony Award-winning team behind 54 Below's success and look forward to our new adventure together."

54 Below opened in the basement below Studio 54 in 2012, and has since played host to myriad Broadway legends, new stars and fresh faces.
