● Le Souk Harem (Greenwich Village) - East Village pariah/magnet Le Souk adds "Harem" to the name, signals that it's not going all PC yet. Belly dancers, hookahs, general debauchery spread out over massive tri-level space. Start this thing off classy. You’ll eventually make it down to the Mars Bar level.
● Little Branch (West Village) - Apparently, "little branch" is Native American slang for "get loaded, righteously, with elegant grace and speed." Subterranean lounge known for stiff pours. Will definitely kick-start a couple of weeks to not remember.
● Superdive (East Village) - Bottle service is so 2008 -- hook us up with a keg, brah! Adult supervision not an emphasis here, therefore good launching pad for the myriad enticements of the EV.

● Le Souk Harem (Greenwich Village) - Le Souk supersizes, brings similar atmospheric scene.
● Crosby Street Hotel (Soho) - Spendy Brit import lands on quaint Crosby Street.
● Ajna Bar (Meatpacking District) - Jumbo Buddha is gone, as is the Buddha Bar name, thanks to catfight with the Parisian original.
