No Malice Palace: Otherwise known as “that bar with the green light and black awning,” No Malice Palace offers a refuge for those craving a SoHo scene in grimy Alphabet City. Buttoned-down boys and camisole-clad girls create a Bridge and Tunnel vibe as urban DJs, who are anti-Top 40, spin old-school and underground rap, hip-hop, and R&B. Victorian sofas, pressed-tin ceilings, and a fake fireplace make No Malice Palace resemble a Clue murder mystery room. Want to take a break from tearing up the dance floor? Venture to the back patio, slump into a chair, and strike up a convo with Daniela from Long Island. You just might be able to take her back to your palace. |
