Jon B. (of Guesthouse and Home) puts a politically correct twist on the New York nightlife scene at this 6,000-square-foot bi-level club, located near the base of the Holland Tunnel. Five-thousand crystals dangle from the ceiling, while lush natural scenes peek out from the recycled glass bars. Bamboo floors and leafy wall coverings complete the heady look, giving Greenhouse an almost trippy "Alice in Wonderland" vibe. Upstairs, house music blares as club-goers pour bottles from the comfort of reserved tables. The downstairs bar area boasts a more traditional lounge. Both have VIP sections.…

IMPORTANT TO KNOW!

by cheryl d at Citysearch

my friends are visiting from CA, and decided last Thursday to to check out the notorious greenhouse. The line was hella long, it was cold and we knew that the door is really tough, so we left :-(

The next day the concierge at their hotel gave us the contacts of this guy Erez who works for the club, and told us to give it another shot.

Erez met us outside, put us on the guest list, and before you know it we cut straight through the 30 minute line into the VIP area!!! it makes such a big difference. we had a BLAST and partied till 6am (partially because of the free drink he sent over...)! i hear he works for other places as well but i don't know if he can perform such magic there too, gotta ask him.

the best tip you'll ever get about NYC nightlife: contact erez and see what he has to offer you. his name on facebook is erez j dimant

cell: 718-249-6934

you can thank me later lol
