Chris Reda and Mike Romer of the short-lived Rock Candy are banking on a novel gimmick to revive their old space: Off a main room accommodating twelve tables are seven curtained-off rooms that range from a ten-by-ten-foot standard to the fifteen-by-twenty-foot "presidential suite"; each of these auxiliary spaces can be rented for $1,000 to $1,500 per evening and are attended by waiteresses who are ready to deliver a bottle, a brewski, some comfort food, or any other edible your heart desires. (Just give the concierge 24 hours to stock up.) Those who don't think a cubicle with a DVD player, a minibar, and Snickers bars is the height of sexiness can slip out through a sliding door to the adjoining gents' club Tens. — Daniel Maurer
