Foundation

Foundation lounge is the newest nightclub iteration from Ronnie Kaplan, previously of One 51, Suede and Cherry Lounge. Together with partners Jay DeLalla and Joe Torres, they have transformed the previous LES dive into a Suede-styled room with an industrial flare.  Situated right near the Thomspon Hotel, Hotel Rivington and Stanton Social, Foundation is the latest addition to the neighborhood set to create a crowd fused of Hipsters and socialites. 

The main bar area is spacious and the cocktail menu offers an assortment of unique concoctions.  But it get's better, the banquet area offers a golden stripper pole for those who might dare to show off their moves.  While bottle service is available, it is by no means a requirement, which is a good thing because there is only so much room on the stripper pole of tipsy patrons.
