Jane Hotel Ballroom

The Jane Hotel ballroom holds the ground floor of the 1908 American Seamen's Friend Society building on Jane Street — the chandelier hanging over the dance floor, the velvet rope handled at the door, the format the downtown crowd has held since the room reopened in 2008. The address is the right answer for the night that wants the period ballroom register at club level.

Arrive at eleven with the right name, take the corner of the dance floor, accept the cocktail at the bar. The address is the right answer for the night that should run on the ballroom format and the only West Village room that does it.

The ballroom downtown holds.
