Jay-Z

Jay-Z owns the 40/40 Club in the Flatiron District — his sports bar empire that has become a fixture of New York nightlife and a home-away-from-home for athletes and entertainers.

Jay-Z is a co-developer of the Barclays Center and part-owner of the Brooklyn Nets — the rapper who put Brooklyn on the global music map built his own arena in the borough he loves.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé are regulars at Carbone in Greenwich Village — the retro Italian-American restaurant that has become NYC's definitive celebrity dining room, where they have been photographed together multiple times.
