ALTHOUGH WE DISAPPROVE OF THE VERY NOTION OF CHEATING, we couldn’t help noticing that the grottoes and secret rooms (made unbearably sordid by banquettes and plushy pillows and decor worthy of a pasha’s bedroom) of below-street-level Shalel Lounge on 65 West 70th Street are simply perfect for drinking and canoodling with someone who will, guaranteed, ruin your life.
Who cares if your indiscretions will embitter your children and their children towards you for ever and ever. Life is short. Go for it.
