| "ESPN Zone meets Bungalow 8" at this "hotter than hot" Chelsea "sports bar with a DJ", where "sightings of owner Jay-Z" give "groupies and Lil Kim wannabes" a thrill; recently expanded to nearly double its size, it features "floating orb chairs", "weird unisex bathrooms" and a Cigar Room; "high prices", "intimidating lines" and "door guys in need of a chill pill" are the downsides. |

| Find the "right bedmate" among the "young, hot" prospects at this "vast" Flatiron restaurant/lounge, a "lavish" space with mattresses for diners, a "cool", ice-white bar, "trippy jellyfish tank" and "one-way mirrored" bathrooms; though "bumping" to fans, scenesters deem the concept "tired", citing "hefty" tabs and long lines that are "a pain." |

| Its always "fun to pop into" this Flatiron lounge, a "nice chill option" where "you never know who youre going to see"; up front, the "mellow" bar is "sceney without being intimidating", while the back room houses a performance space showcasing everything from "great jazz" to postmodern "burlesque shows." |
