Jupiter In its three years of existence Baby Jupiter has managed to build itself quite a reputation. The restaurant part is the Lower East Side’s version of Union Squares Coffee Shop – a booth-filled diner style décor with a happening young scene that takes over every night after dinner. The kitchen is open until two on weekend nights, which makes for a perfect late night clubber’s meal. Adjacent to the restaurant is the Baby Jupiter performance space, where the best emerging bands in New York City play anything from Jazz and funk to Rock, Pop, trip hop and jungle. There is a 3-4 band line up seven days a week, with a $5 cover charge. Orchard Bar Orchard bar remains the crème de la crème of the ever-expanding Orchard street bar stretch with its unique and slick décor including part-of-the-wall aquarium installments, and a wooden wine cellar ceiling. It no doubt deserves to win Shecky’s “The Greatest Lower East Side Bar Award!” The later you arrive, the swankier the scene of black wearing beautiful and successful artsy types. Every night there is a live DJ mixing mainly jungle and trip hop, showing off their turn-table moves near at the entrance. Swim This lower East side neighborhood bar has recently taken a more mellow tone. Since June 99, when the Fire Department shut down the “hazardous” sushi restaurant on second floor, Swim has grown smaller (only the first floor bar), and cozier (no more bridge and tunnelers!) The décor is classic Lower East Side with wooden tables and benches and some funky art doodle-displays embedded in the walls that raise a million questions. Every night a different DJ spins live and on weekends the grungy artist crowd gets a nice dance scene going. |
