THE NIGHT:Standard at Elixir

THE SCENE: Girls in tight jeans or miniskirts and low-cut tank tops grind on the laps of preppy, spiky-haired college guys in button-down dress shirts, who outnumber the girls (as usual).

THE VIBE:Old-school L.A. chic meets modern hipster as a fashionable blend of twentysomethings sips Long Island iced teas, bumpin' booties and bobbin' heads to a mix of Snoop Doggy Dogg, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, and the Beastie Boys. DJ Translator also throws modernity into the mix, scratching up Sublime and 311.
