FOUNDATION:
What happens in Vegas doesn't necessarily have to stay in Vegas thanks to FOUNDATION, which has brought the strip (and a stripper pole) to New York’s Lower East Side. Housed in the former Rewind space, FOUNDATION boasts seven mini chandeliers, a gold mirrored wall, exposed brick (this is the LES after all) and upholstered banquets (can you say drunken lap dances?), which combine to create Vegas-style glitz minus the gaudiness. Instead of degenerate gamblers and working girls, expect to find a crowd of A-list hipsters huddling around one of the club’s two bars sipping signature cocktails like the fondueation (shot of Sambuca with a beer chaser) or enjoying optional bottle service. Yes, optional, as in you don’t have to show up with a string of girls begging to overpay for a bottle of vodka just to get in. That’s what’s so great about FOUNDATION—everyone's welcome to party till sunrise (without the typical Vegas caveats of missing teeth or unmarked babies).
Foundation makes for such a good night out. The decor is incredible, the atmosphere electric, and it helps that there is a trendy crowd- it makes a change from the usual bridge and tunnel crowds that normally frequent such places. I would definitely recommend Foundation for a night out.

Look what a little bit of remodeling can do!
Foundation has quickly become my go to place in LES! The beautiful new decor, along with the new touch of elegance makes this place a great alternative to the Bridge and Tunnel weekends in the meat packing district. If your into an array of top 40 and hip hop this is the place to go.

Great Renovation!!
Amazing what a little remodeling can do! A combination of great decor and elegance but still a very intimate setting makes Foundation one of my favorite places to frequent in LES. Nice alternative to the bridge and tunnel crowd of the Meatpacking Dist. and if you like to dance the night away to an array of top 40 & hip hop, this is the perfect place.
