Editorial Review

Requisite throbbing nightclub inside gaytropolis The Out NYC. Nightlife legend John Blair reprises his late Chelsea spot, keeps to the extra-large scale. Six-figure lighting system, killer sound, enough muscle behind the bar to pass for a Mr. Universe pageant. Also cabaret space, VIP room, lounge. Thursday nights go avant-garde with Susanne Bartsch and Kenny Kenny, Saturdays for house music, Sunday for tea. Two-story downstairs bathrooms great for, um, networking.
