The Cabana at the Maritime Hotel is located in the uber-trendy Meatpacking District. The Meatpacking District is on the West side of the city in Lower Manhattan. The Cabana has one of the nicest outdoor bars in the neighborhood. It's a great place to see and be seen. While this club does not have a doorman, and anyone can get in, if you are not dressed proper, you may feel self conscious. The Cabana is located on the rooftop. The space is decorated with luscious leafy plants. The Cabana is open even when it's cold out. During the cooler months, it uses heat lamps for when the temperature gets cold. This is a great place for celebrity sighting. Sean Penn, Sam Rockwell, and Paris Hilton have been spotted here.

RF Lounge is one of the trendiest lesbian clubs (if not the trendiest) in New York City. It is located in the West Village. It was recently a famous lesbian bar called Ruby Fruit, but in 2009 it underwent a major renovation. It went from a historic lesbian bar to a sophisticated place for lesbians to have fun. The top floor has a bar, music and plush seats that create a sexy atmosphere. The bottom floor is a more open space where you can order bottle service.

Marquee is located in West Chelsea. This chi-chi hot spot can be very difficult to get in. It has a doorman who decides who is granted admission and how much they have to pay. So in other words: dress to impress! According to New York Magazine, "only the beautiful and well-connected get a free pass here." The club has two floors. The lower level floor has a large dance space with banquettes around it and a giant chandelier overhead. Both floors are very sexy and slick.
