New York City may have acquired a reputation for "going Disney" in the last decade or so, but there are still plenty of places to go for adult entertainment after night falls. In fact, with the sheer number of bars and clubs open to the thrill-seeking public, it can be a challenge to find the ones that truly go the extra mile.
This ultra modern club and restaurant requires reservations for both. The cover charge is $20 and it is located in the downtown meatpacking district. Three distinct floors ensure that Lotus can serve many people looking for many things. A dining room, and dance floor and a lounge area make up this trendy hot spot.

Marquee is the very definition of going over the top, although not in a bad way. One could simply say the club is trying to give New Yorkers what they want. With brash decor, several DJs, and a floor referred to as a voluminous ultra-lounge, Marquee is one of the most popular clubs in the city. So popular, in fact, that you can expect to be patiently waiting outside for some time unless you happen to be a celebrity.

If Marquee is over the top, than Naked Lunch is its counterpoint. Having been compared in reviews to the classy bar in Casablanca, Naked Lunch is a destination for both Wall Street types and young bohemians alike. With its understated brown decor, Naked Lunch exudes class from every corner of the room. The music includes jazz, hip hop as well as 80's pop.
