The Club Circuit
It has been a trend that dance clubs will appear and vanish into thin air since always. Sometimes, these places are teeming with life only on certain nights. We have compiled a list of some of the most popular clubs known for their extravaganza and tempo.
The Spy Club is a beautiful spot that looks to be a perfect fit in Town & Country. Featuring a huge black and white fresco of Phantoma, an early 19th-century French comic book character in the entry hall, along with a black-and-white parquet floor, the Spy Club has a large dance floor and several mahogany bars. Additionally, there are various rooms that have a more intimate feel to them. They are equipped with plump sofas and discreet waitresses. One tony side room looks like a picture-perfect portrayal of Evelyn Waugh’s works. The gentleman’s library has a stunning fireplace, a mantle clock, and various hunting scenes.
The whole setting of the Spy Club is quite impressive. With the disco lite music being continuously played, the various Armani suits and Chanel jackets fit in naturally with the atmosphere. Jeans aren’t normally preferred unless worn with alligator boots and pinky rings. Such aura makes the Spy Club resemble Au Bar the most without losing its own flavor. Even the photo of Jackie Kennedy hanging in the front hall fits right into the scene. As the night progresses, the dance floor gets crowded, with people waiting even in the street corner in lines. Outside, there is no shortage of beautiful people who are out to enjoy the night, sipping cocktails at the Notte Luna.
If, on the other hand, you are looking for a more authentic New York style disco, the Fifth Column is where you need to be. Interestingly enough, the club was once a former bank vault. Visitors may still find the word “Equitable” carved on the doorway. However, the gray flannel is removed, thank goodness. The Fifth Column has multi-colored Klieg lights, three levels of dance floor, and astonishingly big speakers. Naturally, visitors to the Fifth Column belong to a younger, more stylish crowd. The techno dance music from the speakers will be irresistible and clubgoers are soon in its sway. Although the chairs are few and far between, the ample size of the dance floor more than makes up for it. However, there are also private and well-lit rooms where you can take a moment to yourself and get away from the hustle.
On both sides of the Fifth Column, you will find a hip crown of mixed races and ages, most of them being black, Hispanic, and Asians, all enjoying themselves at the Ritz and the Vault. The Ritz attracts all those who want to dance their hearts out but don’t know where to do it. The five dance floors of Fifth Column have their own distinct beats and rhythms: Top 40, live jazz, progressive R&B, reggae, and soca. However, The Vault, having just one dance floor, is popular with a crowd even younger than that of the Fifth Column.
