Although the crowds get intense at times, like in many New York bars, this brick-walled cube is a great place to steal away for a sweaty dance session. The roster of DJs is really ace, unleashing a nightly litany of hip-hop, reggae, and R&B. Most nights get packed by one o’clock, so be prepared so suck in that gut and move fish-like through the undulating room on the way to the bathroom. Early evenings are an entirely different brand of fun, when you can admire some of the local artwork adorning the walls and chat up the sex kitten bartenders as they ply you with decently strong drinks.
