Formerly known as Vinyl, this club has forged a reputation on featuring some of the most talented D.J.s in town. Cash only with a hefty cover charge, it's the place to go to watch the beautiful folks groove.

Smack dab in the center of a soaring hotel atrium, this expansive bar offers a laundry list of designer cocktails. Jam-packed with hipsters from near and far, the hotel's other bar, the Sanctum, is a quieter place if you actually want to hear what your date is saying.

This multi-level entertainment emporium offers a wealth of live musical performances. Many still verge on "cutting-edge," which is what brought the Knitting Factory to fame.
