Overview

This clubbish Middle Eastern themed lounge makes the most of its railroad digs creating an atmosphere at times almost rivaling Le Souk's. Expect steep drink prices, a cover on weekends, and the usual velvet rope antics.

History

Rose petals and a velvet rope

We once said Falucka made the most of its railroad digs, and Time Out saw the same deep, narrow shoebox of a room, its Middle Eastern decor an alluring change from the sticky-floored, beer-and-TV party bars crowding Bleecker Street1. Votive candles flickered along the walls and fresh rose petals were scattered about1. We also warned of steep drink prices: the specialty cocktails, like the tart-sweet guava, were $101. Time Out now marks it closed, and when it went, or what took its place, we couldn't find out1.
