Aaaah the Meatpacking District, where New Yorkers come to feel like Europeans and Europeans come to feel like New Yorkers. Wear your best threads and park your Hyundai out of sight when you pull up at this swanky venue where everyone feels more beautiful and important than they actually are. The exterior, with its brick façade and overflowing planters, is more charming than what lies inside: serving girls in drafty miniskirts looking just as sordid and opportunistic as the men in Versace suits seated before them. One's architecture, with its soft lights and cozy booths, has received much acclaim. For special occasions, you can hire out the caviar and champagne bar (up to 60 guests) or host your private party for (up to 90) in the downstairs salon. Of course, whatever the occasion, VIPs can rule the roost in their own elevated lounge just off of the main bar area.
