Everything in this urban lounge seems gorgeous, glamorous and gourmet: the people, the drinks and even the colors. Chic blue, orange and bronze hues set the tone for this newest addition to downtown's Block E. There's a stunning circular bar, an eclectic alcohol selection and a constant stream of live and DJ-spun music ranging from Latin to techno to trance. This beautiful club is always filled with beautiful people and dancers. The decor is as dramatic and high-fashion as the patrons. From the aloof staff to the cover charge to the dress code, everything here seems a world away from Minnesota. Escape is chic, hip, dramatic, fashionable and upscale. You can practically smell money the minute you walk in the door. This is not a place to kick back for an evening out, more the type of place you go when you want to see and be seen. Stare too long and you'll begin to wonder if you wandered into the set of 'Sex and the City' or the cover shoot for Vogue. -- Sarah Tieck
