Corridor 44

While many nighttime venues cater to the young and the restless, Corridor 44 taps into singles and couples looking for a quieter, more elegant (or romantic) experience. This is not about how much one can drink but the quality of the beverage and of the experience itself. Yes, Corridor 44 draws crowds and, yes, it has a hip lounge aesthetic. But it's also a lovely place where conversation and companions are at the fore, along with stellar Champagne, sparkling wines and well-paired small plates including cheeses, salads and chocolate. One suggestion: smoked salmon caviar chips. A private room is perfect for small celebrations with friends. The name comes from the 44-foot corridor within the space, and that's one of the best places to book a table if romance is in the air. Early in the evening, world music might be played, followed by lounge tunes and then more typical club sounds as the night deepens.
