Men, are you sick and tired of having to pay full price for drinks on Tuesday nights when the gals around you get to as many Kamikaze shots as they want for $20? Well, it looks like you'll have to endure. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals rejected claims by Roy Den Hollander that ladies' night drink specials around the city infringe on men's civil rights because the bars charge men more for admission or drinks. The court ruled that Hollander was unable to prove clubs like China Club, Lotus and Sol broke discrimination laws by attracting ladies with cheaper drinks. more ›

Infamously litigious Ladies' Night foe Roy Den Hollander got bounced from federal court yesterday by judge Miriam Cedarbaum, who rejected his lawsuit against several nightclubs for discriminating against men with their discounts for females. Hollander denounced Cederbaum as "a feminist" and told the Daily News that "this lawsuit would have put an end to guys financially subsidizing girls to party at nightclubs." The judge ruled that private clubs can charge as much as they want and dismissed Hollander's claim that a precedent was set in the '60s when two women successfully sued McSorley's after being denied alcohol. (One Daily News commenter theorizes that Den Hollander simply "hates not being a woman. He wants to be in the bars with all men to get his grease on.") His lawsuit against Columbia for offering women's study courses is still pending. more ›

The drinks are expensive (even a water will set you back 4 bucks), the shows are too early and the nightclubs below the venue's main room are hopping with the B&T crowd. On the other hand, the stage has hosted some great bands, and the lighting always looks nice...so it may just be time to pay some respect to the place as it gets one step closer to being Landmarked. more ›

We'll never deny being interested in wine but Metrazur takes it to another level. Since opening Aureole in Las Vegas with a four story skyscraper like sculpture made entirely of wine bottles and then CP Steak in Washington DC with the 10,000 bottle strong wine cube there had to be something here. The wine case at Metrazur is beautiful, sleek and sophisticated with wine at all angles against the sweeping curve. The most prominent and eye-catching labels are the ICS (International Conspiracy of Sommeliers), the California wines chosen and mixed by a group of sommeliers just for Charlie Palmer's restaurants. Everything, actually, is specific to the restaurants, down to the label with a chef modeled on the designer's husband- the DC restaurant's chef. more ›
