The Party: WEEKEND
Look up - way up - and you may see partygoers on the dance floor of Weekend. Tourists and locals alike flock to the three-level downtown club for dancing and pulsing house and techno. You'll want to hit the 12th and 15th floors of the Haus Des Reisens building for a sweaty good time. Once you're ready for a breather, hit the rooftop terrace for a rare panoramic view of the low-lying city. We hear it's most intoxicating at sunrise.
