Hiro

Late-night club lounge in the Meatpacking District's Maritime Hotel done on a sultry Japanese theme. DJs spin a fusion of modern techno and electronica plus some rock and 80s (which pleases the gay crowd coming down from Chelsea) and sakes are served by the glass and bottle. Beautiful paper lanterns lend a dim glow to the interior dominated by huge dark-wood ceiling beams and red-cushion banquettes, and the whole feel is one of sexy Tokyo-chic. Cocktail-wise opt for their 3 Monks signature that combines amaretto and orange juice with three versions of sake and leaves you infused with the spirit of Confucius.
