Simple, modern decor pervades the vast 18,000-square-foot nightlife multiplex. The sheer luxury of the space is made more apparent by its lack of frou-frou ambience. A blue-lit, spaceship-like ceiling fixture and a dramatic 45-foot glazed-oak bar separates the front lounge from the many back rooms, which include an iron-doored VIP room, a DJ-manned dance floor rotating Top 40 tunes and a puffy, suede-canopied restaurant.
A more relaxed, friendlier vibe separates BLVD from similar megaclubbing establishments, but there's still a strong singles scene. Picture guys in button-down striped shirts and cleavage-sporting gals in tight-fitting tops jostling to order Bailey's shots. However, patrons may have a hard time spotting--let alone pursuing--their future significant other given the thick weekend crowds. The restaurant offers an escape from the fray. The Panamanian-influenced menu includes ceviche, oysters and empanadas as appetizers and entrees such as grilled sugarcane shrimp and pork tenderloin marinated in lime and rum. |
