This two-story, 6,000-square-foot club comes with a heavy-handed, if well-intentioned, gimmick: Greenhouse is New York’s first ecofriendly nightclub. The sound system is wind-powered, the walls sustainable bamboo, the light bulbs LED, the staff wears ecofriendly garb designed by Bono’s wife and shills drinks made with organic 360 vodka, and pretty much everything is recycled. It all adds up to a LEED certification, the official stamp of approval from the U.S. Green Building Council. Greenhouse also impresses with a swanky interior; ceilings are attractively adorned with plant leaves, and plush black leather couches border an indoor waterfall. — Justine Ingersoll
