Sin City refugee Vincent Faraci puts a Vegas spin on Brooklyn's urban jungle at this tropically themed restaurant and nightclub. Tiger and monkey statues, leopard-print chests and an indoor waterfall adorn the 60-seat Sunset Park venue. Diners can dig into pricey Italian plates, like pan-seared foie gras on grilled ciabatta with Amarena cherry marmalade; risotto with scampi, champagne and strawberries; and pappardelle al tartufo, with fresh porcini and shaved black truffle. At 10pm, resident disc jockey DJ Skribble, seen on MTV, hits the decks, spinning hip-hop in the bamboo-and-palm-tree-decorated space.
