It’s a large space that's extra fresh and the sound is fantastic, but not easy to fill either.

Just a great space. Its Japanese/Ninja theme is pretty awesome. Hiro is dope.

Track 5

Gild Hall

Great manicured lounge space on the second floor. And the mac and cheese downstairs ain’t half bad, neither. A great space. I don’t know if anybody’s doing anything there anymore.

Track 6

Great lounge with some outdoor space on the 7th Floor. Jasmine Solano and the Frank151 cats rock out there on Thursday evenings.

Track 7

212.317.2900

website

Started off as a great laid back spot for DJ D Nice to rock out and with some recent love from Jay Z and his RocNation celebs, it’s been a great place to spend a Wednesday evening. There’s also a rooftop where they do a lot of summertime roof parties.

Track 8

Rose Bar

Gramercy Park

2 Lexington Ave

(212) 920-3300

website

SUPER Exclusive spot, between the celeb heavy Rose Bar, the Private Rooftop and Garden. It’s SUPER beautiful and even has heaters upstairs in the winter season.
