Occupying the space once inhabited by Sol, Ruby Falls et al., this West Chelsea (really far West Chelsea) spot is a full-on club, with DJs, dancing and circus-style performers among the attractions. But little about it, including the often pedestrian music, makes Amnesia stand out from the pack, leading one to think it may fall to the same fate as its predecessors.
Though the gay scene is hipper in Hell’s Kitchen, hedonist’s paradise Splash Bar is among the area’s best nightlife options. The slick Highline Ballroom hosts everything from big-ticket gigs to comedy and burlesque. Start (or end) your night at one of the area’s best bars.
