The Look: The ultimate luxe bowling-alley lounge. If Ed's lane looked like this, more folks would move to Stuckeyville.
The Crowd: An odd but appealing amalgam of those who have a significant nightlife past and those forging theirs for the future. No one flinches at the bill.
The Appeal: Don't let the meatpacking address fool you. This is downtown without the mess. Jimmy Choo shoes rule.
The Meal: Crayfish in cassolette, lobster bouillabaisse, chocolate pyramid.
The Mistake: Showing up at 11 P.M. Who let the dogs out? Literally.
