Hot Spot: La Linea

15 1st Ave

(between 2nd St & Extra Pl) East Village

When I'm looking for a club/lounge to enjoy for the night there are a few things it must have for me to put it on the rotation. First, and probably the most important, I'm not paying a cover. Second, the door has to be relaxed. None of the I may or may not let you in based on  judgement of what is appropriate attire. And third, the music has to be great of course! 

La Linea has all these and more. Whenever I'm in the area, this is usually a must stop. It's also a go-to destination whenever I get the urge for drinks and dancing. Start the night off with an amazing 2 for 1 happy hour till 9pm. Late night the hip hop DJ's take over with some of the best Reggae, New and throwback Old School hip hop. As you enter you'll notice the space seems small and narrow, but as you head past the bar to the back you'll find comfortable lounge seating and  an open space. You will soon witness plenty of bumping and grinding so be ready to dance! This is a locals, word-of-mouth type of spot, so it will definitely give you the feeling that you are one of the few in the know. Stumble over to nearby Houston St. afterwards to feed your drunk belly.   

Strong drinks, great atmosphere, relaxed dress code, love the music! Dance the night away!
