Manhattan's latest addition to the mega-club revival is part steamy Shanghai lounge and part la vida loca Latin dance club. LQ packs five different experiences into 15,000 square feet: a crowded, singles-heavy bar, a recessed dance floor surrounded by banquettes, a downstairs lounge set to the sounds of hip-hop and R&B, a VIP lair beneath Chinese-style marble arches and yet another upstairs VIP lounge.
The crowd, while somewhat corporate--think bankers in Thomas Pink shirts--knows how to have a good time. Preface drinks with creative appetizers, such as the bite-size, roe-covered shrimp dumplings and flavorful crabcakes. Only the culinarily daring should try the carpaccio-style Thai beef salad. The champagne cocktails are refreshing and creative: Opt for the Ice Queen, topped with aquavit, Chambord and lime juice and garnished with raspberries. In keeping with the Latin theme, bottle service includes an impressive selection of tequilas and rums. |
