Deliberately small and equally impossible to find, it should be no surprise that subMercer rests at the bottom of the mightily luxurious Mercer Hotel. You’ll only find the club by first entering the hotel, taking the freight elevator to a subterranean level, traversing a few hallways and then ending up at a red door. Since not a soul would complain about the noise at this depth, the party is guaranteed long and loud on a nightly basis.

Once you get in, and that is, if you get in, you’ll be treated to a full-on presentation of DJs, designers, hipsters, music industry types and the occasional celebrity or two filling up the small, dim, brick-walled space. Just remember that despite its size, it’s one of the city’s best tips for a night out, especially when the words “clubbing” and “New York” aren’t the most compatible couple in the world.
