Description
Like many Tribeca establishments, M1-5 has the edifying spaciousness of a warehouse. On slower nights, this leaves the perimeter of the 18-foot-ceilinged room--featuring a cabana section with zebra-pattern cushions, a pool table area, and an entire wall dedicated to, again, zebra-pattern cushions--feeling quiet lonely, which happily encourages the crowd of after-work types to gravitate toward the center of the room, an ovular bar with an extended "halfsy hour" (six-plus hours of half-off drinks during weekdays). And though there are eight plasma televisions surrounding this hub, the sound is always turned off. The Jay-Z-blasting DJ knows he's better at setting the mood, anyway.
