TABLE 50 (643 Broadway) - another entry into the NYC nightlife scene. The new venues never seem to cease but this one has been done in particularly high-style. A subterranean space with clean lines, sleek architecture, candle-lit ambience and a great powerful-sounding system without any distortions. Perfect for their new cabaret license! The off-to-the-side entrance invokes the feel of a modern day speakeasy. This just might be the next perfect lounge / mini-dancefloor combination. Party guy and DJ Jason Swamy is playing host with John Creamer & Dave Vasquez on Tuesday nights. Upcoming line-ups include Clive Henry (Peace Division), Meat Katie and a bevy of international underground heavyhitters. Nicely done! FYI - The name Table 50 is a reference to gossip reporter Walter Minchell's table in the exclusive Cub Room at the Stork Club.

Look for more club-lounge hybrids this Spring from GBH's Alejandro - ELEVEN in the Lower East Side (a nod to Spinal Tap "The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...These go to eleven.") and MOVIDA from Swamy in the West Village designed by none other than Dah-len - photographer to Pink & Madonna. Both venues are looking to push music-oriented agendas. Certainly good news for us aging clubbers.
