Head into the Hotel and to the Mercer Kitchen, walk past the host stand, and head for the back stairs. If you're lucky you'll make it down to a tiny AAA list basement haunt. If you're not, no amount of money, pleading, or models on your arm will get you in.

This dismal lounge above the tourist trap Café Bari was promoted as a secret celeb hangout, with a hush-hush inside scoops planted at Gawker and the NY Post. Have pity on the poor saps who made the trek here from Jersey.

A sports bar plain and simple. If there's a good game on the wall to wall projection screens there are few better places in the neighborhood to watch it. But failing that there's little to recommend.

GoldBar does oppulence rather well. Gold ceilings, gold chandeliers, gold tables, gold curtains, gold walls covered in tiny gold skulls all add up to a significant wow factor. Unfortunatly they also add up to an environment about as comfortable and welcoming as a bank vault. A standard cocktail will run $14, and the door policy can be brutal.
