This club offers a weekly party of sleek men and hard-pumping music. On Saturdays nights the dance floor is packed with young guys eager to have a good time. The DJs are top-notch and among the most talented in South Florida. With their busy schedule, the bartenders are surprisingly friendly. One other advantage to Salvation is that it’s located away from the hustle and bustle of South Beach, which makes parking a little easier.

Acropolis
Comments Off
After much delay, Shanghai finally has a Greek restaurant. As far as the authenticity of the décor and food go, it appears as if the wait was well worth it. Featuring Mediterranean-inspired paintings on the walls, soft lighting and a menu replete with all the Greek delicacies, souvlaki, tzatziki and dolmadis, Acropolis is such a surprisingly comfortable and enjoyable restaurant, you’ll find yourself thanking the gods. The food is reasonably priced, too. Greek salads, for instance, run at Y38 and the delicious baked codfish patty appetizers are only Y 28.

Webster Hall
Comments Off
125 E 11th St between Third and Fourth Aves (212-353-1600)
Subway: L, N, R, 4, 5, 6 to 14th St-Union Sq. Thu-Sat 10pm-4am.
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.

Built in 1901 for German piano manufacturer Friedrich Bechstein and
seized as enemy property during World War I, the building at 36 Wigmore
Street finally opened as the Wigmore Hall in 1917. The intimate
auditorium is attractively decorated – the cupola over the stage,
depicting the Soul of Music, is a wonder – and maintains a delightfully
old-fashioned atmosphere. Long may it continue to do so, if it means
the concerts and recitals – including the bargain-priced Monday
lunchtime series that is recorded for transmission on BBC Radio 3 -
continue to set such a superlative standard. The staff are friendly,
the ticket prices are manageable and the acoustics are impeccable,
while the occasional themed series adds a touch of spice. In short,
it’s a must-visit.

Les Magnolias
Comments Off
Word of mouth has rapidly established chef Jean Chauvel as the star of Eastern Paris. Delicious starters such as white pizza with garlicky snails, a crème brûlée of foie gras cream and delicate balls of ground quail and spinach wrapped in caul fat are outstanding. Follow with superb strips of perfectly cooked tuna in seaweed sauce or chicken marinated in honeyed milk. Desserts are impeccably executed – try a macaroon with poppy seeds and sour cherries or runny chocolate biscuit with carmelized hazelnuts. This is food prepared with both imagination and tremendous technical precision, served at drop-dead bargain prices.

Big Ben Bookshop
Comments Off
Vienna’s flourishing array of English bookshops is a big plus for ex-pat residents. The Big Ben has been around for years, tucked away in Servitengasse at the leafy end of the 9th district. However, from January 2001 the shop is moving to new premises on the university campus located on the site of the old general hospital. Hoping to cash in on the student market, Big Ben will be offering a broader selection of academic books, as well as their usual staples – contemporary literature, teaching materials and videos.
