Nightlife Underground: 10 Subterranean Spots To Party In NYC

(Hey, that's me over there! Before I cut off all my Morticia hair!) Clearly, these recs come from firsthand experience. Chloe 81 is a brilliant alternative to the loooong lines at Hotel Chantelle when you want to go dancing, as it's right across the street! From the outside it looks like an inconspicuous oyster bar that might even be closed, but you'll see a bouncer near the basement stairs and if you smile and are really nice, he'll let you (and all your guy friends) in. The white-tiled walls, lush red booth seats, and candlelit atmosphere are très French, but the '90s dance hits coming from the DJ booth are pure Lower East Side.
