I realize it depends on the type of music you like and the kind of people you prefer to hang with, but it should make for some interesting comments. Any not on that list?

Showing my age, I haven't been out that late in the city since Pete Gatlien's clubs were around. Those were the days, Club USA, anyone remember?

Not sure how this is a best of list without the number one club in the city for some time... Avenue. Wass Stevens runs the door. He is basically a legend in the city for his door policy and there are articles written about him

Lavo, Boom Boom Room, and Le Bain are always always packed are near the top of the list.

1oak.. never been there but well known.

PH-D at dream is considered a top 10 club.

Marquee just reopened this week after being remodeled, so that might be considered a Top 5 club.... for now at least. (When this article was written, marquee was exclusively for tourists and muscle heads from jersey)

A lot of clubs that are on that list are basically considered B&T... (basically meant for the "jersey shore" crowd on the weekends) You won't find the models, douchey bankers, and people who actually live in the city at most of those places.

Tunnel was my first NYC club.. enormous space. amazing times, always fun. Never been to Club USA though. I missed out on limelight and palladium as well. Although it's always shocking to me that limelight is a shopping mall now :eek:

drink enough alcohol and any club will be the best club.
