Crimson:
“Let’s Talk about Sex (Super Crispy Mix)?” That old Limelight vibe? No wonder this place hasn’t caught on yet: it hasn’t been 1991 in years. Even if you haven't made it to Crimson yet—and we bet you haven't—the description might sound straight out of sound Night Club 101: decor comprised of structural steel beams and plates, and, true to its name, a bar backlit in dark red. In a rare contemporary flourish, Crimson unashamedly dishes out well vodka drinks for 12 bucks, but it’s not just the prices making us question what year it is. With the DJ spinning the likes of “Staying Alive,” mixed with contemporary hip hop, we’re reminded that only in 2009 do we find such an anachronistic amalgamation. It’s not all bad news, though: The staff is friendly and the large space could provide a most excellent habitat to dance with your friends. Just make sure to brush up on your Cabbage Patch.
