4 hot spots you need to be at this summer

Treasure Club —

Treasure Club on Orchard Street is the perfect Summer hang-out spot. It’s chill, laid-back, more of a bar than a club (despite the name), and on any given Summer day, I know I’m going to run into people I know there.

There’s also a weekly karaoke party on Sundays—which is often themed, including but not limited to a recurring Lana Del Rey night.

Le Bain —

If you’ve read anything I’ve written before about nightlife, it’s not a surprise that Le Bain is on this list.

I love it all year round, but the summer is the sweet spot. Not only is the swimming pool open, but the weather is nice enough for the rooftop to be open for sunset parties.

The view from the roof is nothing short of the picturesque views you have in mind when dreaming of your move or planning your very first trip to NYC. 

Winnie’s —

If you like karaoke, look no further than this Chinatown hidden gem.

You won’t even see a sign advertising it, but if you know, you know. You’ll walk up a flight of stairs to get inside this small karaoke bar. The crowd is the perfect mix of artsy and hip young adults and burnt-out middle-aged men with beer bellies singing Radiohead.

It’s hot, sweaty, and congested (in all the best ways), so if you need a breath of fresh air or a cigarette, you’re in luck because there’s a small backyard area outside. 

Maison Nur & Studio Maison Nur —

If you like classier spots that still manage to have the perfect amount of controlled chaos, Maison Nur (upstairs) and Studio Maison Nur (downstairs) are where it’s at.

Do me a favor and order the smoky mezcal margarita when you’re there, and tell Nur I said so.
