Terminal 5

Big as an airline terminal. Two separate balcony levels, huge main floor. Chandeliers class up industrial entry after running elaborate security gauntlet. Coat check stashed behind second floor bar. Jumbo disco ball last trace of former tenant Exit. The major leagues of indie rockers: Band of Horses, Cat Power, Hives. Show up early for sold-out shows—overflow here sucks. Here's to hoping the new rooftop lounge vents some of that sweat.
