Webster Hall is an out-and-out commercial nightclub worth visiting in a fun-night-out-with-your-friends sort of way. There are four or five different mainstream musical zones, and though the crowd is essentially a suburban influx, there are a few New York freaks, special attractions (like the trapeze artists) and rampant hetero hormones to amuse newcomers. As is often the case with mainstream spots, its not-on-the-map status among downtown hipsters makes it novel, and thus ripe for a comeback: DJ Young Richard, who made his name with his Makeup Room party when the club opened, has just started a new party here.
