Jelsomino 204 West 55th Street 212 333 7799 Prepare yourself for the best night you will have in a long time. This spot from the Ginza Project folks, located next to the Dream Hotel in midtown, combines the karaoke trend, with bottle service and really cool cocktails. In a two-room lounge slash stage slash club, you can expect the best of Russian nightlife but in New York. What makes it so good is partly to do with the European club favourites played in between the singing; partly to do with the staff, which whether hostesses or singer/entertainers, seem really into their jobs; and 100% to do with the fact that there is an "bon vivant" feeling in the club that's pervasive. If you're the sort of person who loves St Tropez, you will love this spot. Granted, it won't be cheap, but then again, what price on letting someone make you feel like a rock star? And they will if you let them, which means this place might be singlehandedly responsible for putting the fun back in nightlife in NY. Check your bad news at the door because by the time you leave, you won't remember anything but good feeling. |
