did you know manray is not, in fact, named for the photographer? it's
named for the owner.

the logic behind the dress code is that it'll keep the gawkers/fratboys
out, but i don't think manray has a monopoly on black clothes sold within

boston does have rise which is open all night, but rise is expensive.
and probably fairly yuppy, but i've never known any members.
