Profile

Judging from Jay-Z's lavish lounge-y sports bar, the rapper/mogul takes his bling very seriously. His towering, two-level club—which gridlocks this quiet Flatiron Street with stretch Expeditions and frequent celebrity sightings—is a pillar of sophistication. Six cream-colored leather swing chairs are suspended from the ceiling; sleek Italian marble shines on the floor, and a collection of LCD flat-screen televisions (including fifteen 60-inch plasmas) display ESPN. But that's not all. A cognac lounge and four VIP rooms are tucked away on the second level. The Remy Lounge and Jay-Z's Private Room boast 60-inch plasma screens, pool tables, leather wraparound sofas, PlayStation 2 and Xbox systems and private wait service. High rollers with a few extra grand to spend—and an entourage of up to 70 guests—can reserve the room for the night. After the game, the DJ blasts R&B and hip-hop (no surprise that heavy rotation goes to Jay-Z and his girlfriend Beyoncé), transforming the place into a bona fide dance club.
