What: Belowground SoHo scene in Bar Martignetti's former basement.
The look: Black-and-white-tiled floors, quartered-off leather banquettes, and lots of faux foliage—plastic palm fronds frame the dance floor and line a murky entrance corridor.
Who goes: Recent Ivy grads and skinny socialites, plus a Gossip Girl or two.
Sound track: Mainly Ting Tings-style indie pop, with a dash of big tickets like M.I.A.
What to wear: Heels are four inches, minimum, and Sergio Rossi's the brand of choice for women; men wear Steven Alan, be it alterna-plaid or buttoned-up blue.
What to drink: Vodka and soda, gin and tonic—whatever gets you dancing.
Door policy: Go early; in the 1 a.m. mob, pretty-boy bouncers push overpriced bottle service..
