APT
419 W. 13th St., nr. Washington St.; 212-414-4245.
The address used to be a secret. The entrance is still unmarked. And revelers still come in droves to this small but swinging nightclub.
Cielo
18 Little W. 12th St., nr. Greenwich St.; 212-645-5700.
As the stylish crowd grinds on a sunken dance floor, D.J.'s— many from Europe—spin some of the best house this side of the Atlantic.
Pacha NYC
618 W. 46th St., nr. Eleventh Ave.; 212-209-7500.
A global franchise rooted in Ibiza brings its high-gloss decadence plus techno turntablists like Armin van Buren to a multilevel space in midtown.
Shelter
150 Varick St., at Vandam St.; 646-862-6117.
The gutted, whitewashed interior with its lone mirror ball reinforces one guiding principle: For D.J. Timmy Regisford, music trumps design.
Studio B
259 Banker St., nr. Meserole St., Greenpoint, Brooklyn; 718-389-1880.
Live performances (from promoter Todd P.) and D.J. nights (from Motherfucker’s Justine D.) have transformed this onetime Polish nightclub into a dance haven for underground electronica and disco punk.
