Profile

There's something innately sleazy about SBNY (formerly just "Splash"), and that's what makes it so much fun. Stand on the dance floor and watch hard-body boys on the threshold of manhood shower on an elevated catwalk—before descending to the smallest of three bar areas to shake their moneymakers. If you position yourself properly at the main bar, you can scan the dance floor, back bar and shower scene all at once. And you always have a perfect view of the hottie bartenders, clothed only in boxer-briefs. DJs thump generic house mixes, occasionally throwing in a fierce remix. Kick it downstairs for a lower-lit, lower-key, loungier vibe while checking out trade in the bathroom line.

Extra
