Editorial Review for Love – by Chelsea Lindman
In Short
Tucked between tattoo parlors and thrift stores, this well-hidden and subterranean club-cum-lounge pumps out inventive house mixes way past the closing times of other clubs. Anything--and anyone--goes; each night is wildly eclectic yet welcoming, with a funky mix of fun-lovers sliding across the black light dance floor before landing on velvet magenta lounges. With this club's thumping sound system, it's no wonder the party often continues after-hours.

This is what clubs are supposed to be: Nothin' but fun vibe, reasonable drink prices, no attitude, staff as cool as the crowd, and the best sound system I've heard in NYC. It's worth checking their calendar online(musicislove dot net---doesn't that address say it all?!?) to see what kind of party they're having that night. It's an eclectic mix of DJ's: from lesser knows right up to all stars like Q-Tip and Sasha (yes, of Sasha & Digweed fame). These guys play here because the vibe to the place is all about keeping it real, not the sell-out stuff you see at these rip off clubs that now dominate the scene. No pressure to buy expensive bottles, just to have a good time. Great dance floor with another cool black light room, and then a chill room regulars call the "Fraggle-Rock room". Like any real club, it tends to get really going later on. Every time we've been, we've had fun. Highly recommended indeed.
Pros: Cool vibe, best sound system in NY, no attitude, great DJ's

Maybe I was there on an "off" night, but I dragged a bunch of my friends here on a Friday night based on the good reviews I read. The review that says no velvet rope, hah...well there was NO ONE on the line, but we still had to be let inside the (not velvet, more like seat belt material) rope. The bouncer says "The cover is $15, too bad you didn't come 5 minutes earlier cause it was $5" (and laughs). There was some wierdo guy standing out front saying how great the place is and thet the music is "bumpin". So we decide to go down the stairs to have a look before we paid the cover. The hallway down is spray painted with strategically placed flourescent and glow-in-the-dark grafiti, which might impress a Back Street Boy or Cyndi Lauper wannabe. We peer inside, despite the dirty look from the woman trying to collect the cash, and see 4 people and a smoke machine. They looked excited that someone or anyone was coming in, but we took one look and walked out laughing.
Pros: its dark inside
Cons: everything else I saw
