So here it is, our bi-monthly MurphGuide Hot Spots rankings. Cheers, Murph.

4.  APT
419 W. 13th St. (10th Ave.)
Sunday Nights.  Crowded, Beautiful and Fun.  Music couldn't get any better.
 - DJ Ruby Soho, Rumor Productions

5.  The Coral Room
512 W. 29th St. (Tenth Ave.)
"Good music, coral-lined walls and live mermaids swimming in a 9,000 gallon
 tank make for a fin-tastic time." - Jeff Strank - Netparty

6. Deep
16 W. 22nd St. (between Fifth & Sixth Ave.)
The club formerly known as OHM.  Why is it hot? Because it's a brand, new club opening. And brand new clubs opening are typically hot spots. Whether they remain hot or not is another issue. -Ruben, Rogue Nights

7.  Bungalow 8
515 W. 27th St. (between 10th & 11th Ave.)
 HANDS DOWN! Unquestionably the most fun and hottest place in NYC, if not the world. Celebrities, models, socialites unite to sip famous watermelon martinis or munch on a incomparable lobster club sandwich or grilled cheese. Also features some of the best DJs. If you don't know the doorman, don't bother trying to get in, as you will be sent home. - Adam Alpert of The CASE Group

8.  Capitale
130 Grand St. (Bowery)
 Every Saturday this Summer, Capitale's 2 Star restaurant crowd mingles with the promoting team that has promoted 2 other successful weekly parties in Thursdays at Suede & Fridays at Show.  Throw in one of the nicest staff put together (from the security to the manager) and you have a solid, well-run party.  Say hi to Bart, Capitale's head waiter, who has served Jackie O at Studio 54 and raver kids at Exit, as well as being featured in a pictorial in last month's Italian Vogue. 
-Ruben, Rogue Nights

9. Rehab 
380 Lafayette St. (Great Jones)
"Try to get into Rehab on Saturdays. The lovely Emma Cleary hosts the door.  If you can get past her, you're good". - Ruben of Rogue Nights

10. The Deck at Pier 59
Chelsea Piers, Pier 59, Level 2
Like Miami's Delano Hotel in NYC. White plush decor and a fantastic dinner menu as well. The "in" spots for high profile events. - Adam Alpert of The CASE Group

11. Tapis Rouge 
9 Avenue A (between First & Second Ave.)
On Wednesdays, where Cabaret Magique, hosted by Chi Chi Valenti and Johnny Dynell, gives all the old school nightcrawlers a safe haven from the khaki-clad masses. - Abby Ehmann, Editrix Abby

12. Vig Bar
12  Spring St. (Elizabeth St.)
Tuesday Nights.  Because it's my night and play a good helping of rock with a dose of roll. No B&T to be found mid week.  - DJ Ruby Soho, Rumor Production

6.  Show 
135 W. 41st. St. (between Sixth & Broadway)
"Fridays, hosted by Kyky, Unik & Dmitri, pavan, ruben & ken & noel a,
Show is the biggest, most decadent gathering of NYC's most beautiful in one
spot.  Two legendary doormen, Marcus & Aramis, team up to make sure the
crowd is above par". - Ruben of Rogue Nights

11. Suede
161 W. 23rd St. (between Sixth & Seventh Ave.)
Tuesday's party (aka TNT Tuesdays) is still going strong.  The door is tough.  Better bring two hot girls with you &/or be prepared to get a table. 
-Ruben, Rogue Nights

Great music and a friendly vibe. - Marcos, Ambiance by Rollan

12. Flow
150 Varick St. (between Vandam & Spring St.)
"Freak Show every Wednesday for the parade of people....gay, straight, rock, vanilla, freaks, voyeurs, tourists, couples, singles, frat boys, servicemen in uniform, GORGEOUS go-go girls and messy rock mayhem. It can be a sexy blast!" 
- Abby, Editrix Abby
