my friend wanted to celebrate her birthday in a trendy but somewhat cozy lounge. instead of opting for expensive meatpacking district, she suggested la caverna. since i was the one technically ""hosting"" the party, i researched the place and felt good about what it looked like nd all it had to offer. we gave la caverna a list of guests and a head count in advance. the day of her party, there was a huge line. i was happy to think that it was a popular place. i went up to the bouncer and guess what? he said wait in line! embarassed, i waited in line before another friend who had arrived early was able to vouch for me. in addition, i had brought some trendy friends along to this place because the website touted it as such. when we FINALLY made it in, boy, was i surprised. the decor was so-so, but please, they were playing dirty rap and the clientele was, well, dirty. people were basically grinding up against each other everywhere. it was so crowded, the line to the bathroom spanned the length of one wall! i had to use the bathroom so i went to the bathroom and oh my god! a maintenance guy went in there while i was peeing so he could ""repair"" something but eveyrthing worked. at this point, i was so embarassed to have lent my name to the event.\r
the clientele was nasty, the music sucked, it was too crowded and dirty, and it was a sausage fest. for a club that supposedly allows more girls than guys, there sure were alot of guys there..most of whom proceeded to grab and grin at me. i was HORRIFIED. my friend opened a tab and t hey wouldnt let her close it until they pumped her for $$. and food? what food? this place doesnt serve food! at least not on saturday nights\r

this place was so awful and i am so embarrassed. i will NEVER walk into this place again. i may sound mad, but nothing can convey the horror of that night. after exactly 20 minutes, i left my best friends ""party"" and went home in a cab that cost me a day's pay.
Cons: long line, crowded, bad service, rude clientele
