All Saints Black Silk Dress (Sorry about the
lack of a full length pic)!
“Wear something black and short, its French
though…..keep it classy”. These were my instructions after having asked what
was required to get into Le Bain, a club on the top of The Standard
Hotel. If you’re looking for a fun night on the town in Manhattan
look no further than the Meatpacking district. Fitted with the most
beautiful and stylish people of New York, this area isn’t for the
fashion starved – this place is notorious for turning down people
based on appearance. Terrified about being rejected with my makeshift ID
and lack of nightlife connections it was time to 'suit up'!
After following my instructions to a tee I
successfully gained entry into Le Bain, it was time to see what all the hype
was about. Upon entering the club I was hit with a fully stocked bar with
the infamous Manhattan skyline in the background. That’s right, the Empire
State building is right there close enough to touch. With Bob
Dylan playing in the background you know this is going to be a great night
(hehe that’s for you Ella). To my right was a Jacuzzi in the middle of
the dance floor. People were stripping left right and centre, before
jumping into the steaming water. Remembering my initial instructions
“keep it classy” I remained fully clothed and opted for a seat on the rooftop,
maybe next time guys!
The view of Manhattan is enough to make you feel
like you are on top of the world. With the added bonus of a crepe
station being located up above, this club experience is parallel to none!
If Le Bain isn’t for you however, The Standard
Hotel also plays host to the famous Boom Boom Room (location of Lady Gaga’s
birthday party) and the more low key Biergarten located under the
highline. There is something for everyone at this night hotspot, making
it number one on my list for must see places!
Love
