The Living Room, Bethpage

Just like at any house party, The Living Room is the place to be. The nightlife hot-spot—brainchild of renowned New York promoters Bobby Goodrich and Michelle Licata—thumps late into the night with an on-going soundtrack of live jazz quartets, rock bands, and DJs. Drink specials, small plates, and gourmet buffets keep guests dancing into the wee hours.

The lavish, glittering chandeliers and red velvet curtains create an ambience worthy of the title ultra-lounge. Private VIP couches await behind velvet ropes, where guests can sip drinks surrounded by more leopard print than a survivalist in a leap of leopards.
