Perhaps not the exclusive hot spot it once was, this still-popular and mildly selective subterranean Meatpacking lounge offers a pleasant alternative to the bigger, scenier spots in the area. Once home to classic gay joints The Vault and The Manhole, the mazelike space features ultra-low ceilings, low-slung banquettes and grotto-evoking stone walls. Expect plenty of up-to-the-minute pop, hip-hop and dance beats and creative, if pricey, signature cocktails.
