Best Tango

  • All Night Milonga

    Stepping Out Studios, 37 W. 26th St., nr. Sixth Ave., ninth fl.; 646-742-9400

Though the skills on display can be intimidating, Latin dilettantes are welcomed by the regulars, who show up around midnight and keep kicking until sunrise. (There’s a class at 9 p.m. if you need to brush up on the steps.) The only requirements: Come looking sexy—the uniform tends toward the tight, short, and red—and wear leather-sole shoes to pivot and slide.
