Reviews for Shecky's.com Page 5   Aria - Club/Dancing and Lounge/Swanky/Upscale 539 West 21st (10th and 11th avenue) 560-7438 ALL MAJOR CREDIT CARDS In the space that used to be called Opera, way, way West of Chelsea, miles beyond the thriving gay scene, a good-looking downtown meat-market reigns. With newly-installed velvet ropes and an impressive line of people trying to make the “rope-cut”, this places is definitely a happening scene. The cover charge is $20 on weekend nights, $15 reduced, and no cover during the week. The main room has woman in black bikinis dancing on elevated cubes, slightly-cheesy techno music, and a black gothic gate with lit candles running through the center, separating the dance floor from the lounge area (with tables that are always taken or bearing a “reserved” sign). They just added a new large room (enter it by walking towards the bathrooms), called the Garden, with indoor trees, its own DJ on weekends, and more, intimate party feel.
