MEATPACKING DISTRICT. One of the city's top clubs regardless of who's keeping score, the place "where house music lives" is indeed a primo spot to be in the Meatpacking District once the midnight hours roll in. The music – an innovative, global montage of everything from Afro-Latin and soul to techno and nu jazz – is a big draw, of course. The scene (sexy decor, a sunken dance floor, and cozy brown and beige banquettes) generates a fair amount of its own buzz... as does the beautiful, 20-something clientele. TRAIN: A, C, E, 1, 2, 3 to 14th St; L to 8th Ave
