NY Spots reviewed by C

After more than 6 months spent in the City, it is now time for C’s ranking of New York hype clubs:

1. Kiss & Fly

Pro: Best Music, live percussions and saxo

Cons: Quite young audience, very crowded (too many tables on the dance floor)

2. Pink Elephant

Pro: Live music with Tam-tam Guy, great place, nice doorman

Cons: seems to open later than other places, not very fun before 1am

3. Bungalow 8

Pro: Best decor, lounge, music, a piece of summer within the winter. Loved that!

Cons: Don’t know why, but it looks like it’s not anymore a trendy place. Is 27th street too crowded?

4.Greenhouse

Pro: Amazing place, “eco-friendly”, great music, live saxo guy, great dancing spots

Cons: Can’t really find one

5. Tenjune

Pro: doorstaff not too much into blond skinny girls with mini-skirts, great DJs (thank you for the Tetris-Remix)

Cons: Very crowded, young audience

6. Cain

Pro: South African décor, nice bar, nice music, people dance on table/couches

Cons: Eveyone keeps telling me that it was better before… will never know!

7. Marquee

Pro: 2 rooms, 2 different music styles,

Cons: A little bit too big! Full of wanabees… 4 bucks to check a coat, what’s the f*?

8.Guesthouse

Pro: Good music

Cons: Strange people inside

9. Ultra

Pro: Less exclusive, and more people there for fun, not just to be seen, everyone's dancing on the tables non stop

Cons: Some trash girls

10. Mr West

Pro: Great design outdoor wall.

Cons: Interior just normal


Other “night” places:

RDV: Neo baroque lounge, VERY expensive, hard to get in! Intimidating as almost all girls look like models.

Butter: Great restaurant (somehow pricey), amazing décor, nightlife (only week-ends)

Apt: huge apt, lounge, loved having a cocktail on the bed.

Boucarou: Restaurant/Nightlife, unpretentious, nice spot in East Village!

To Do List: Bijoux, Mansion, The Box!

Closed door: Beatrice Inn, please let me Inn! Don’t know how to handle the “private party” answer. Any invitations more than welcome.
