In-Depth Information
The lounge inside the Jane Hotel is nothing short of outrageous: cue oversized disco ball,
velour chairs, animal print fabrics and taxidermied critters. Low-key during the week, the
place morphs into a full-blown party on weekends, complete with revelers dancing on the
furniture. (Honey, you've been warned.)

Standard
Rising on concrete stilts over the High Line, the Standard attracts an A-list crowd, with a
chichi lounge and nightclub on the upper floors - the Top of the Standard and Le Bain.
There's also a grill, an eating-and-drinking plaza (that becomes a skating rink in winter)
and an open-air beer garden with a classic German menu and frothy drafts.

Top of the Standard
Located at the Standard (see 34 6 , C3), the Top of the Standard has smooth beige sur-
rounds, softer music and plenty of room to swig your top-shelf tipple. It is strictly VIP and
the favored hangout for the vogue elite (and
Vogue
elite) - expect models, their photo-
graphers and the occasional celeb sighting.

BAR
Duck behind the neon 'Psychic' sign to find this in-the-know hangout, which gets busier
as the night wears on. The bartenders are top-tier mixologists, fizzing up crazy, addictive
libations like the 'Ginger Smash' and the 'Mata Hari.' Great for late-night drinking, and
eating, courtesy of the onsite restaurant that serves past midnight.
