Vibe: Ah, childhood memories under the big top: the colorful wardrobes, the big personalities, the, uh... weird excess of “little people.”  Well, they aren’t all great memories, but Carnival found a way to recollect only the good ones.  With their signature Dunk Tank drink (2 gallons of Rum, Vodka, Gin and Fruit Juice- meant to be shared!), waitresses splashing around in an actual Dunk Tank, and over a dozen boardwalk games; a birthday party at Carnival will make you feel like a kid again! (with alcohol, of course!)

Spot:  Coney Island boardwalk meets Manhattan nightclub- with an elaborate 60ft tented ceiling, VIP funhouse, costumed staff and working carnival Midway. Between the outrageous burlesque performances, a dominatrix who makes naughty balloon animals (the helium comes out of a nozzle on her bra, I kid you not) and the alcoholic snow cones- it’s sensory overload. Note to boyfriends: winning stuffed animals will earn more points than staring at the wet t-shirt soaked waitresses; keep your eyes on the prize.

Grub:  Two words: Concession Stand! It’s an upscale take on the classic carnival mainstays. Think mini corndogs, cotton candy, candy apples and fresh popcorn. May we suggest waiting 30 minutes before going in the Dunk Tank.

The Deal:  Located in the 16,000-square-foot space above Bowlmor Lanes, Carnival is perfect for birthday parties, private events, or just a practical night of mixing funhouse mirrors and heavy drinking.
