Looking for where the Theatre District's über sexy crowd gathers when midnight rolls around?

The dance floor, under the stewardship of charismatic DJ's that specialize in hip-hop, old school rap, Latin and techno, is always packed with model-caliber clientele. That said, if it's a particularly busy night, getting past the door can be quite a feat, so make sure you dress well and act the part.

T-shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes are not allowed, so make sure you're dressed in smart casual attire or trendy attire.
