Poker Face

(Club at Grand Opening; Doors Open Jan. 9, 139 Norfolk St b/w Rivington & Stanton)

Despite popular myth, poker dens are not dead and gone, instead they have raised their stakes with posh locales like the new and very legal might I add, card lounge Club which ups the ante from your usual less than mediocre poker pad.
Although small, Club promises all the makings of an authentic card game; chips, witty dealer, nine-player tournament table, and Grade-A bar complete with cocktail waitress. For $12 bucks a pop, you can buy-in for a riveting game of Hold ‘Em and spend the rest of the night collecting chips from your adversaries (or vice versa). By the end of the night, your chip count is recorded for future purpose (the higher your count, the lower your future buy-ins) and who knows, you might even advance to the championship tournament in March. And you thought Vegas was the only place to show your cards.
