PARK AVENUE DISCO
40-42 Taganskaya Ul.
Metro: Marksistskaya.
Tel: 911-0498.
Popular with students. Get to this place early, because at 1 a.m. these girls need to catch the last metro. After 1 a.m. you might meet older college girls, but they're usually less willing and more calculating.

CHINESE PILOT DZHAO DA
25 Lubyansky Proyezd, Bldg. 1.
Metro: Kitai-Gorod.
Tel: 924-5611.
Good place for smart intellectuals who like to sing together. The only bad thing is that there are always drunks inside. Don't expect any lengthy romantic chitchat. It'll be more like: "Have a drink?" "Why not?" and "Let's get out of here."

NIGHT FLIGHT
17 Tverskaya Ul.
Metro: Tverskaya.
Tel: 229-4156.
The best time to stop by Night Flight is 11 p.m. The best-looking ladies (or should I say "Ladies of the Night"?) in town are on the prowl, looking for you and your benjamins. Strike early: The most beautiful are taken by midnight.

PAPA JOHN'S
22 Myasnitskaya Ul.
Metro: Chistye Prudy.
Tel: 755-9554.
Nothing really happens here before midnight. Come on a Tuesday night – Latin night. If you have even the tiniest inkling of how to Latin dance, you can get up close and personal with lots of scantily clad girls in this steamy atmosphere.

KARMA BAR
3 Pushechnaya Ul.
Metro: Kuznetsky Most.
Tel: 924-5633.
Strange place. There are leering businessmen and then there are also leering girls, giving you that "hunting-for-a-foreign-man" stare. The women get hotter as the night wears on.

MINISTERSTVO
24 Malaya Nikitskaya Ul.
Metro: Barrikadnaya.
Tel: 222-0158.
Yes, you can find a very, very beautiful girl here. But she will be very, very expensive. These girls have the skills to check out the label of your suit while pretending to throw their arms around you. They'll swiftly appraise your worth and by 2 a.m. you'll know if you're in or if you're out.

DONNA CLARA
21/13 Malaya Bronnaya Ul.
Metro: Barrikadnaya.
Tel: 290-3848.
The cafe's aristocratic interior provides a nice background for talking about nothing. It's a good place for making high-profile acquaintances: One day you could spot a celebrity producer smoking in the corner, the next day you might see a famous actor dropping in for dinner and with any luck you might glimpse a pop star desperately looking for a seat.

JUSTO
5 Bol. Tolmachevsky Per., Bldg. 9.
Metro: Tretyakovskaya.
Tel: 239-9019.
This trendy spot is not a place to find friends. This is where girls come to assess cool and respectable men – because Justo is the meeting point of the cream of Moscow's elite. The club is often visited by famous journalists, designers, TV hosts, producers and successful businessmen.

GARAGE
16 Tverskaya Ul., Bldg. 2.
Metro: Chekhovskaya.
Tel: 209-1848.
The hottest time is 5 a.m., when club-goers get together for after-parties. Lots of flirts here who are equally sweet to everybody. Don't be fooled – they are simply tired and want to sleep. But where they sleep depends on you.

PROPAGANDA
7 Bolshoi Zlatoustinsky Per.
Metro: Kitai-Gorod.
Tel: 924-5732.
Meet a guy, plan to meet him next Thursday. Come next Thursday, say "hi" to the guy met the previous Thursday, spot another guy, kiss him and plan to meet him next Thursday.
