Origine 71 Spring St. (Crosby & Lafayette Sts.)
SoHo

Origine:
Spring Street shoppers have a new place to kick up their heels and put down the heavy bags at the downstairs lounge at FROG (formerly FR.OG, drop the period, k?) Origine has a semi-exclusive policy for Tuesday-Thursday nights (the place is small), and the rope is supposedly less strict on Fridays and Saturdays. Club promoter Zev Norotsky has brought in bottle service, and the specialty cocktails are provided by P.I.N.K. Vodka. Let's hope it doesn't get L.A.M.E. (Lounge Area for Meathead Execs).
