Hawaiian Tropic Zone - So you want to escape Times Square tourists and the pressures of your nearby office while staring at pretty girls in barely-there getups? No, the area hasn’t returned to its strip club heyday, but the smiling barmaids in Nicole Miller-designed bikini tops & sarongs bring a glimpse of spring break all year in the heart of the Theater District. The bi-level space feels more like Vegas than it does Maui, with its barrage of glowing orange lights, freakishly green plants, an indoor waterfall, and an immense display of TV’s above the bar showcasing Hawaiian Tropic’s finest. One sip of the dizzyingly sweet house cocktails will have you longing for a beachside chaise lounge with your own personal HTZ girl to attend to every need. Oh, and the food's not too shabby either.
