Hanging out around East Village a couple weeks ago, I ran into this cute little spot called Nightingale Lounge. Although really small, the feel of the venue is great. As soon as I walked in, I thought belly dancers--I was definitely feeling the Morocan atmosphere. Although expensive (hey, it's New York City) the Apple Martini and shots of Patron were expensive, but the DJ and crowd were having too much fun to let the price bother them. Definitely a spot you should visit before going to a club in the city. Nightingale Lounge 213 Second Ave (NW Corner of 13th Str & 2nd Ave) Nightingale Lounge
