You're going to miss Sugar Blue playing at BBKing's on the 17th of March  
(B.B. King Blues Club & Grill 237 West 42 St (212) 997-4144), but  check the 
site out anyway since there's always something going on at  Lucille's there 
and good food as well. I believe there are two separate  dining/music rooms 
and tickets can be bought in advance through ticket master.  It's fairly 
high-end for seating if you want a booth on the floor but they also  do a 
brunch every Saturday and Sunday:

Terra Blues, 149 Bleecker (as Chris has already mentioned)
 
 
_http://www.terrablues.com/_ (http://www.terrablues.com/)  
 
always has harp players around but can get packed depending on the act  
(Jason Ricci with New Blood always drew a full house). Looks as though  Hazmat 
Modine will be there March 10th. Here's their VERY cool version of 'Child  
of a Blind Man':

You're missing Steve Guyger's appearance there on the 27th of March.
 
 
Here's one critic's review from New York NightLife which might help  with 
some other entertainment as well:

A few steps away from Terra Blues is Bob Dylan's old hang-out:  The  Bitter 
End (147 Bleecker Street) - still in business although I don't know about  
its current clientele or music. A quick online search should give you the  
info.
 
 
 
Will Galison gigs fairly frequently and is a fabulous jazz musician  
(harmonica, guitar and vocalist). Here's where he's currently gigging  (afaik):

There's the Iridium for jazz, although I've never been.

And a link which might help for food:

I've no idea about jams since I don't spend much time in Manhattan, living  
out on Long Island, but Will might know. He's on facebook too.
 
 
Hope some of this helps and that you have a great time in the City.

I am taking my girlfriend of 12 years to  New York City for her birthday in 
March 
9th thru 13th. I could really use  suggestions as to Blues Clubs, Jazz 
Clubs or 
other venues where I can listen  to some of New Yorks finest Harp Players, 
or 
maybe a Jam Session or  something interesting.

Also, I would love to have suggestions for  Restuarants, including Steak, 
Italian, Deli, Breakfast places  etc.

Thanks in advance
