Top 5 Dance Clubs


Cielo  

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.

Club Europa
98 Meserole Ave., nr. Manhattan Ave., Greenpoint; 718-383-5723.
Club Europa’s unassuming exterior—wood signage, semi-seedy sidestreet location—belies the nonstop, no-holds-barred, Euro-disco fantasy within.

Santos Party House
96 Lafayette St., nr. Walker St.; 212-584-5492.
Andrew W.K.’s bi-level club packs a fierce 150,000 watt sound system, and lets almost nothing get in the way of that wondrous noise.

Sullivan Room
218 Sullivan St., nr. Bleeker St.; 212-252-2151.
Don't even think about showing up at this subterranean spot before midnight. It's not until then that the cozy club fills up with revelers ready to dance to the soundtrack created by stellar D.J.'s like Ritchie Hawtin and Marco Corolla.
