Star Lounge @ The Chelsea Hotel: Situated beneath the legendary Chelsea Hotel, Star Lounge attracts the potential celebrity legends of tomorrow but has an ambiance that's warm and welcoming enough for the rest of us. Make it past the bouncers to a discreet entrance down the stairs and through velvet drapes and follow the scent of incense burning to three sexy rooms. The décor spans the decades with comfy couches and oversized photographs of multicolored lips. Monday nights are buzzing with downtown insiders, so unless you’re on the list, arrive early to kick off the week the right way. But any night is a good night to try the French Vanilla Martini. |
