http://www.the4040club.com Jay-Z's nightlife contribution is Empire State, through and through--dim lighting dotting two floors, sports stars lounging in inner V.I.P. chambers, short skirts and shiny tops on every female patron, gold fixtures as far as the eye can see. The lower floor is a rowdy club scene on most weekend nights; if a packed dance pit isn't your style, brush that off your shoulders and stop by mid-week for more sedate, but still infectious, hip-hop groove sessions.

The small and deep-blue environs of 46 Grand subtly sit in hip-hop splendor without the annoying thug wannabes. And although there's no camera crew in sight, the diversely good-looking lads and lassies mingling to Eve and Alicia Keys's "Gangsta Lovin' " set the mood for pretending you're shooting a video in Soho. I grab one of the few high chairs by the silver-piped candlelit bar and order a dirty martini from the beautiful Asian bartendress with charcoal-smoked eyes. While surveying the crowdaschmoozy fashionista types and guys in Triple Five Soul cavorting on banquettes over bottles of MAPetaI realize, why rely on television, when you can have the real thing?

http://www.5ninth.com Here's an anomaly in the Meatpacking District: a quaint, three-level brownstone from 1848, converted into a restaurant that serves up an elegant, old-school cocktail selection. Surrounded by two fireplaces, the bar is the centerpiece of the ground floor, where an impressive, mixologist-supervised menu awaits. Pick from 5 Ninth's menu of "Forgotten Classics," such as the Ace of Clubs (Barbados rum, lime juice, crème de cacao, and a few drops of Angostura), "Long and Strongs," such as the Paloma (tequila, lime juice, grapefruit soda, and a pinch of salt), or a "Fresh from the Lab," including the Gamma Ray (old armagnac, crème de menthe, twist of flamed lemon, and a dust of cayenne pepper).

With a focus on jazz and blues for guitar, 55 Bar is often a welcoming venue for musicians to try out new material and the no-stress attitude of the performers carries through to the staff and ultimately the customers too.

Some follow the creed "If it's good enough for Jack White, it's good enough for me." These folks love Loretta Lynn, dress in white and red, and drink at 7B. But it's not just the indie rock clientele that makes this bar hot. Drinks are cheap and the jukebox has all the right rock tunes for slinging back brews. More exciting: they have Games-to-Play-When-Drunk, including Big Buck Game Hunter, where you can knock off deer while under the influence and never have to worry about the consequences of a stray bullet.
