This place is quite awesome! Where else in NYC will you get a chance to pack into an ice cage and have 2 minutes to take as many vodka shots as you can? They give fur coats to women and russian military coats to men as well as russian fur hats so you keep warm in the cage. The vodka in the cage is good quality too, so don't be afraid. You do, however, have to knock on the door so they can let you out (kind of strange - I guess they really lock you in the cage)! The upstairs lounge has a hookah bar but the place gave us a broken hookah and told us we broke it after we realized it wasn't pulling. Unnecessary. Go there for the cage, not the hookah!
