continued from page 141 ' 0 W N Silverado ' s had the largest dance floor in Manhattan, Greg Gilman, Silverado ' s manager, said. He said the 1,000 square-foot floor helped draw in a large crowd on Thursday nights. Silverado ' s wide variety of music attracted more than the typical Wrangler-wearing crowd, he said. Wednesday and Saturday, Silverado ' s biggest nights, drew a large crowd due to the atmosphere, Gilman said. To pick up business on Thursday, one of their slower nights, they added Ladies ' Night.

Ely Sprenide, bartender at Kicker ' s, said Fridays crowd at Ladies ' Night varied with the time of day. He said an older crowd usually attended during the day, and as the night progressed the crowd tended to be younger. We chose Friday because we figured that if a groupof people came in on Friday and liked what they saw, then they would come back for more on Saturday, Spenkle said. We also offer swing lessons on Tuesday nights, to draw in the crowd. Dan Wallace, Porter ' s manager said their Ladies ' Night, catered to ladies who already went out on Wednesdays. ' We just recently started having Ladies ' Night and so far it has been pretty successful, Wallace said. There has only been a slight increase in attendance, but people seem to enjoy the martini atmosphere. Porter ' s has a classy feel about it, like bars in Kansas City.
