This two-story playland owned by Meow Mix’s Brooke Webster has given New York’s moribund dyke nightlife a much-needed shot in the arm. The weekend parties, which feature thong-clad girls writhing on stripper poles, are hip enough to pull in a mix of faux-hawks, bridge-and-tunnel singles, celesbians, and even a spattering of boys. The huge roof deck—there’s a line in summer—divey downstairs dance floor, and multiroomed second-story lounge let girls hook up, get down, and see and be seen, all under one roof.

Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York.
