A lounge is a lounge. There is only so much you can say about the latest hot spot before it fades away into the minds of city socialites. We are always looking for the new fad and savvy clubowners are receptive to that.
A long, narrow space, Glass Lounge provides a sleek setting and a small, yet suitable patio in the back. Though barely enough space to dance it is inevitable because the blend of hip-hop and oldschool begs patrons to do so. Drink prices are standard New York and the crowd is classy and can lean more toward the brown side on certain nights.
You must be wondering, "well, what's so different about this place?" Aside from just being a new and different scene, Glass Lounge has an interesting mirror scheme going on. Once you make it to the front of the (often slow moving) line for the unisex bathroom you will notice a long horizontal mirror. As you wash your hands and check yourself out in the mirror you won't see what is on the other side...10th Ave. But those walking along 10th Ave can see what's going on, on your side. That's right. As you innocently adjust your make up or smooth down your hair, "Harry the Bum" is peering in at you. A little creepy? Yea, I think so. Nevertheless, Glass Lounge is...a lounge. They play good music and the crowd is relatively cool. Just don't forget to wash your hands when you leave the bathroom...someone might be watching...

you forgot to mention the feminine fragrance of the unisex urinals. Definitely smells better than the typical odious male bathroom (just take my word on that)...It did feel a bit initimidating in the dark enclave knowing that there was a line of NYC's finest fashionistas waiting a few feet away...
And the wonderful bathroom attendants! I found them to be very sweet and receptive to my needs. Don't forget to leave them a token of your appreciation...(a tip, I mean).
The best part is obnoxiously strutting past the antsy bathroom line crowd as you make your way back on to the dance floor with your bladder a lil' bit lighter. "Jack n' Sprite, please..."
(sorry for the late response)
Yes, I forgot to give props to the very nice, Hispanic bathroom attendants at Glass. That makes 2 nights in a row for nice bathroom attendants. Last Saturday at 58, the Haitian woman in the ladies bathroom was as sweet as pie! You gotta appreciate people who can put up with and cater to obnoxious, chatty girls who fixate over themselves in the mirror all night (w/o so much as a "please" or "thank you.") *Aggh!*
You forgot to mention the ridiculously long line you have to wait in to go to the bathroom in one of 3 stalls for the whole place. That can be a buzz kill.
