12. Marquee (289 10th Ave, Chelsea)
Marquee is one of the largest dance clubs in NYC that regularly attracts house and electronic music fanatics. The club, which has been a New York landmark for the last ten years, was recently renovated from top to bottom to offer party-goers a space that focuses solely on the music. Marquee, once a multi-room labyrinth that catered to VIP bottle service guests, has been resurrected as an all-encompassing open space with 30-foot ceilings, a massive LED wall, and a half-million-dollar sound and lighting system. They literally “raised the roof” of the New York City rave scene. This club is not to be missed.
