Get it all—dinner, drinks, the velvet rope. Here's where to see and be seen while eating. • Join regulars like Naomi Campbell and P. Diddy at PM (50 Gansevoort St.; 212/255-6676; snacks from $10) to nosh on tuna sashimi and beluga caviar while a DJ spins international beats. • After midnight, clubgoers at Lotus (409 W. 14th St.; 212/243-4420; snacks from $5) can dine on Asian treats such as pad thai served in Chinese takeout containers. • The newest kid on the block, One Little West 12th (212/255-9717; snacks from $6), has a tapas menu—goat cheese-topped burgers, bite-sized peanut-butter cookies—served by waitresses out of a Robert Palmer video. • At the French-inspired Rhône (63 Gansevoort St.; 212/367-8440; snacks from $7), choose from one of the 32 wines by the glass to complement appetizers like panko-crusted portobello mushrooms. • Pop Burger (60 Ninth Ave.; 212/414-8686; snacks from $8), which looks like a futuristic White Castle, cooks up juicy mini-burgers and fries. The groovy lounge in back projects anime on the walls and offers a more extensive menu.
