205: What’s hipper than sitting on a $2 vintage chair drinking a can of PBR that costs twice as much? Doing it in the LES. Inside 205 Chrystie, a tin-foil-covered den known simply as 205, hipsters of all ages gather, if they’re hip enough to know about the party. But the club isn’t simply a compilation of all things boho-chic. It’s actually an Andy Warhol tribute, designed in the image of The Factory, his famous art loft. More tongue-in-cheek than cheesy, the décor includes a faux industrial elevator entrance, duct-taped banquettes, orange upholstery, and a large canvas facing backwards against a back wall frame. Sneak a peak. The painting’s front is black and white Paris Hilton portraits – a combination homage to Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe and a dig at the socialite. When the main level gets cramped, head downstairs for a second DJ spinning danceable tracks in a Craigslist personal ad-inscribed room. Read the phrases in dim and tipsy conditions; it beats stifling laughter over the site’s “Missed Connections” in your cubicle. Open Tue.-Sat. 10pm-4am. |
