Club hopping doesn't get much more exuberant than this. Paradox draws in hordes of colorfully dressed college students and other miscellaneous party hounds with a steady supply of DJ-spun dance music, which on any given night may range from house to disco to salsa. Facilitating such an energetic crowd is a rather expansive dance floor, complemented by such party peripherals as fog machines and spinning light globes. The occasional "foam party" -- in which large quantities of bubbly foam are heaped onto the dance floor as well as whoever might happen to be standing there -- adds a slippery element to the mix, guaranteeing an even higher degree of wildness than usual. Such events wouldn't lead one to suppose that a dress code might be enforced; yet Paradox does indeed frown upon certain forms of casual wear. Dress as if you were headed to a funeral in the tropics and you'll be fine. -- Barrett Brown
