    For me, Peppermint Lounge (the first one). Also, Area has been turned into condos, I believe. #bungalow8

    Uhhhhhh...I don't think I would call The Box a bordello. Risque as their acts may have been (and continue to be), I don't believe prostitution has ever been their primary business.

    Save the Robots in Alphabet City; Underground in Union Square, which is now a pet store. The Bank (now Element) in LES. There was also a club called Peace (the last incarnation of that place that that I can remember) at Bleecker, which is now a CVS or Duane Reade (those chain pharmacies are all alike anyway). And too many to not to remember. I'll go dig up in my rented storage room for all those passes and flyers that they used to hand out. Also back then, it was pretty much an open door policy -- little or no velvet rope in the selection of the patrons. Nowadays, everyone seems to be to be dressed the same: either men in suits in finance, and fashion models or Scary Sadshaw wannabes in stilletto heels and mini-skirts, or they pretend they're in finance or in fashion. Just look at that picture above. #bungalow8

    Centro Fly was my favorite. Always had a thing for 1960s biomorphic decor. And yes, there was a curious moment from 1999 to 2000 or so when genuinely interesting people went to nightclubs. Then all of a sudden the lights went on and the khaki pants held indomitable sway over all. #bungalow8

    No Palladium or Roxy?

    Life, Butter, Cheetah, Lotus and Spa had a nice run in the 90s, the height of the bottle service era.

    There was a brief moment before the d-bags took over. Once 2000 rolled around, bottle service was peaking and interesting people moved on. #bungalow8

    I remember when Bowery Bar and Wax in Soho had their big moments in the mid-90s... Then there was Suite 16 circa 2000... And then there was... Oh, wait, nevermind, I'm abandoning this train of thought because it's reminding me how fucking old I am. Jesus. #bungalow8

    Sacco was probably guilty; Vanzetti may have been innocent. #bungalow8
