Concierge.com's insider take:
Since 2000, Meatpacking District pioneer APT has resisted the neighborhood's ultra-glamification, staying true to its DJ-focused mission. The spot, with its tiny rusted sign, is meant to evoke an apartment: The upstairs lounge is broken into several small sections with leather banquettes and tasteful striped wallpaper. But just like in high school, the basement is where the real fun is at. With slick wood-paneled walls and bold-faced DJs manning the ones and twos, however, this is not your parents' suburban rec room. On a nightly basis, residents Bobbito Garcia, Rich Medina, Neil Aline, Jazzy Jeff, and a rotating cast of guests spin techno, funk, hip-hop, and everything in between, taking advantage of the club's stellar sound system. Garcia's Monday night party, "Vinyl Is Forever," (formerly known as "Waffles and Falafels") is near legendary, as is Wednesday night's Afro funk–heavy Little Ricky's Rib Shack, hosted by Medina. With relatively friendly door policies, little to no cover charge, and a diverse music-focused crowd, APT has all the fun with little of the fuss of the Meatpacking District. Plan to arrive around midnight and dance till near dawn.
Open daily 7 pm to 4 am. Music starts at 11 pm.
