Located in the heart of the Meat Packing District, Buddha Bar New York presents diners with a sensual, Asian-themed restaurant experience. Through a tunnel of golden statues, beneath a dazzling cross-shaped skylight, a towering black-lacquered Buddha calmly surveys three massive rooms adorned with red chandeliers, large teak tables and coiled dragons. The delicious cuisine, combining the bold flavors of Asia with delicate French essences, is served family style, while a DJ in full view spins hypnotic music later in the evening.

This former Ukrainian social club still boasts its Soviet-themed decor, but it now draws creative types who like the low-key boho vibe. There's also free entertainment almost every night, thanks to KGB's excellent, eclectic reading series, where a talented pack of up-and-coming and established writers read their prose in various genres to a receptive crowd starting at 7pm. If the readings aren't you're thing, come after 9pm when KGB's returns to its hang-out vibe.

The Knitting Factory has become synonymous with all that is experimental in downtown music circles. The original Knit opened on Houston Street in 1987, before relocating to its current Tribeca digs in 1994. Sprawling over three floors and outfitted with four bars, the space offers a good variety of goings-on. The Main Space, with its high ceilings, plays host to the biggest local and touring acts, while the Tap Bar and Old Office host cozy sets by smaller names. The intimate venues are small enough to see and feel everything, but not so tiny that you can't move around and have fun.
