It’s adorable to watch Amy Sacco, the woman responsible for turning West 27th Street into the bridge-and-tunnel police state it has become, take a crap on New York nightlife. “Most everything’s overrated. Even I’m overrated!” [NYDN] Funny! And true! New York’s nightspots are playgrounds for bottle service and exclusivity, which has become a commodity itself, which means we get to stamp an “overrated” label on it. Case in point? Room Service, which billed itself as a lounge with all the amenities of a hotel, is heading into the crapper, and that unbearable pair of haunts, Home and Guest House, are “closed until further notice.” Sacco, meanwhile, continues to let Bungalow 8 whore itself out to those grasping on to its expired coolness factor. Oh, and she’s “developing a club at the Hard Rock in Vegas and touts London as much more interesting than NYC.” Two so very underrated destinations.

Don’t you have to be “rated” before you can become “overrated”?
