Carbone is a dining experience that you will not regret. The two globally renowned chefs Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone have taken a good old fashioned Italian meal to another level. The restaurant ambience has you feeling like you are in a film like The Godfather and the food has you thinking you are somewhere in Italy. Carbone is one of the best meals you can find in Manhattan, but don't think it’s not going to cost you!

Clubs:

Provocateur

18 9th Ave

Located in the notorious Meatpacking district of New York City, Provocateur was designed with the idea that it would house New York's most beautiful women and it's most successful men. The club, which is divided into two sections - a lounge which is decorated in leafy plants and dreamy swings allows you to have a conversation while having a drink; however, walk a few feet and you will find yourself in a full-out exclusive night club. Provocateur has hosted some of the world’s most popular Dj's like Tiesto and Pete Tong. This location is definitely a must visit for anyone who has the means of getting in.

Flash Factory

229 W 28th Street

Flash Factory is a new club that has gained a lot of credibility in a short amount of time. The phenomenal church inspired architecture in combination with the awesome music is what has turned Flash Factory to an almost overnight success. Flash, which is run by the same people who are responsible for Provocateur is an experience of its own, giving people a vibe of New York City in the 90’s.

Up and Down

244 W 14th Street

Considered one of New York's hot spots, Up and Down is notorious for having a tight door. This club, which used to be known as The Darby has a clientele that consists of New York City's young, successful and stunning. This club is also known to house athletes and celebrities, so unless you are willing to spend or you know someone, chances of you getting into Up and Down are slim. Those who do it properly start their night at Up and Down and then take the party to our next destination, which is owned by the same people.

1Oak

453 W 17th Street

Like Jay Z sang, “started out at The Darby ended up at 1Oak”. This nightclub is the definition of ghetto fabulous. The name, which is an acronym for One of a Kind is the best hip hop night club in the entire city. The club’s discerning door policy is a reflection of its important and heavy clientele. 1Oak has hosted some of the biggest celebrities like Jay Z, Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Leonardo DiCaprio. The celebrity infused environment reeks of power, success and of course New York City. 1Oak has stood the test of time and has remained one of the most exclusive clubs in the entire city.

Boom Boom Room

48 Washington Street

Boom Boom Room, located at the top of the Standard is without a doubt one of the toughest doors in all of New York City. Unless you are a super model, a Hollywood actor or a platinum selling artist, you are going to have to have some serious connections to get through this door. If you do get the opportunity to go, your breath will be taken away by the view - by far one of the best views of the city you will ever see!
