Mood NY

Past the velvet ropes, bouncers and the exclusive "we're-so-cool" attitude at the door, a charming, stylish space brings some downtown hip to workaday Murray Hill. The high domed ceiling (painted with a sepia-toned Old World map), backlit walls and delicately melting candles that wind up the balcony stairs provide a dramatic backdrop for a youngish, eager-to-party crowd. There's more to the club than its ambience. DJs spin quality music that's good for dancing--and not too loud for mingling. And the friendly bartenders whip up pricey concoctions such as a luscious peach martini or a crisp, heady champagne cocktail made with coconut, mango or passion fruit juice. (Source: Citysearch.com)
