Drinks & Nightlife
You've got to check this place out. The main motif is that there is NO MOTIF. Have a drink or beer, clip your business card to one of the lamps, share stories about PR, see the caricatures of its current & former patrons and employees alike. And the best part, GRAFFITI your signature or message into ANY of the walls or even the ceiling. Overall it's a must see.

The bar at the lobby is one of the best in the world. Come on over and gaze at the biggest chandelier perhaps anywhere. Marble floors and a unique atmosphere make it one of my favorite night spots.
