bOb: This pick-up spot sits on a semi-quiet street not clogged with the nearby throngs of swarming Lower East Side bar-hoppers. Still, plenty of people find their way to the sweaty parties held inside bOb’s itty-bitty confines. Hip-hop DJs spin nightly, sometimes venturing into neighboring genres like reggaeton. Though not technically a dance club, the seating arrangement creates a seductive vacuum in the center of the floor. If you just want to chill, show up early and dig the art installations; stay late and prepare yourself for the meat market. Guys may have some trouble getting through the door on weekends, a measure to help control the male-female ratio and keep bOb from turning into a sausage party. |
