The newly remodeled A.D. (formerly the Playroom) is a gargantuan space festooned with an eclectic mix of modern I-Dream-Of –Jeanie style furniture and adornments. Some rooms boast velvet couches and billowy white drapes, some have fun, clandestine cubbyholes, and one room is even thoroughly bedecked in S&M fashion. With a capacity of about 750, the club is comprised of four large rooms, several smaller, more private sitting areas, one smoking patio and one large dance floor. And yet, despite the amount of space there is, the mass amounts of patrons on a Wednesday night fills every inch of every room and corridor. Perhaps that’s why the night’s event is called "MASS."

This mass, a.k.a. the clientele varies in age, race and vogue, though all seem to spawn from the same pool of Hollywood genes: good-looks and impeccable (trendy) fashion sense. And the club, in order to satiate the undulating throng of flawless socialites packed (happily) together tight as sardines, offers some very special treats. These include the midnight show of go-go dancers as well as several special performances every week, not to mention the alcohol spotlights (read: oftentimes there will be an open bar for drinks made with these specific sponsors). No wonder there is a constant crowd of people fixed as firmly at the foot of the front door as the name of the building stamped in stone above them.

Quote of the Week: "Last time I was in here, years ago (before it was even the Playroom), I saw [80's teen heart-throb] Cory Feldman's 'heavy metal' band play, and a sassy transvestite gave me coke in the girl's bathroom. This is better."
