Greenhouse:
You've seen your share of greenery at the club, but those starved for legal leaves should skip Central Park and meet Greenhouse, the latest nightspot from owner Jon B. (of Home and Guest House). This bi-level, 6,000 square foot marvel of green-design is LEED Certified and even runs on wind-powered electricity. An au naturel interior of sustainable bamboo sounds cozy, though a bar area swathed floor to ceiling in eight species of leaves feels oddly like chillin' in Mother Nature's womb. Bump to hip-hop and house while enjoying luxe touches like ceiling-hung crystals. Rhythmically challenged? Plant yourself on banquettes complete with glass tables housing animal topiaries. Greenhouse is for high-class tree huggers, so lose those Birkenstocks, you hippie. Celeb sightings so far include revelers from Russell Simmons to Kevin Spacey. Will buying a $375 bottle of eco-friendly 360 Vodka land you on the green team? Ponder it at the (yikes) waterless urinals. Open daily 10pm-4am.
bartender was unfriendly. i ordered two drinks and she tipped herself 20% gratutity on top of already overpriced and watered down drinks. would not come back

Awful
The moment I walked in, I knew I'd been there before. I went to this club back in 2004/2005 for New Year's Eve but it was called something else. It's not any better now that it's "greenhouse."
I was also probably the only person there old enough to remember the Rhode Island night club fire so needless to say, it FREAKED me out when some idiot came out with a giant sparkler in a room completely decorated with dried leaves. I'm sure all the 20 year olds E that were there didn't even put 2 and 2 together to realize it was moronic.
The music was OK, but the place sucked overall. And I don't know what gives the loser bartenders the right to add 20% gratuity onto the bar tab when they make you wait ages to get an overpriced drink anyhow.
