BARS & CLUBS
Hanky Panky at Webster Hall
Mr Black lands a sweet VIP spot at the top of Webster Hall for all kinds of Hanky Panky away from the careening kids downstairs.
Mister H at Mondrian SoHo
This pseudo-Shanghai den of delights inside the Mondrian is attracting all the right kinds of people for plenty of wrong reasons.
Griffin
From various NYC nightlife heavyweights comes the Griffin, a promise to elevate the Meatpacking District scene: More pretty people and some who can pick up the tab.
Brooklyn Bowl
For a night out on the tiles that doesn’t necessitate hour-long outfit choices and door-bitch anxiety. The only time when grasping a blue ball will make you strike out in a good way.
Provocateur
Whilst it hasn’t got any direct connections to the famous underwear brand, getting into this club is proving harder than getting into a model’s knickers.
Top of The Standard
What used to be the Boom Boom Room is proving popular with the big name celebrities thanks to its 360 degree views and gold standard service – but when mere mortals will be granted access, we don’t know.
Happy Ending
A favorite with LES kids is the former erotic Chinese massage parlor-cum-bar (sorry) Happing Ending.
Raines Law Room
In true 19th Century spirit, cocktails in a retro-designed windowless residential home with a clandestine garden.
Hotel Delmano
Just barely hidden away from Hipsterville Ground Zero is the Hotel Delmano, Brooklyn’s first real cocktail bar.
Bungalow 8
Studio 54 it is not - but thanks to a strict door policy, Amy Sacco’s exclusive celebrity haven Bungalow 8 is still as cool as ever.
APT
Although not such a secret anymore, depending on the night and the company you keep, APT at least always has potential.
Aspen Social Club
Never been much of a skier, but love drinking back at the lodge? Après-ski Barbies in six-inch heels and ex-college fratboys are waiting for you.
1 Oak
Despite its ‘philosophy’ declaring to tear down barriers, often tough to get into - and that’s a good and a bad thing depending how you look at it
Milk and Honey
With its ‘no name dropping, no star fucking’ rule of engagement, a date destination if you wanna get laid.
