With a stadium seating section now overlooking a tower of golden Champagne bottles and two 165", nine-panel TVs, the famed Club is back, and it's got everything from an arena-quality sound system, to banquette nooks lined with golden baseball bats, to a bar top that looks like it's made of frozen Goldschlager (spoiler alert: it isn't). The overhaul extends to the private rooms, now filled with earth-tone couches, iconic NY sports photos, and built-in iPod docks to hook up your own tunes, because the only Jets you're getting right now start with "Benny and theā¦".
