Ace Of Spades Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club, Palazzo $1,500

Xania Woodman

Be assured, you will never see rap mogul Jay-Z bouncing on the banquettes at his own club, a bottle of Cristal in his hands frothing from its mouth or sprayed perhaps over an annoyed but starstruck crowd of onlookers. Love him or hate him, what sets the mogul apart from the pack of other wildly famous music impresarios who date beautiful songstresses is that Jay is a man of tasteful discretion. Eschewing the likes of Cristal champagne, going so far as to banish the controversial stuff for being the subject of rap idolatry, Jay and his friends will visit 40/40 this week for March Madness—on 85 screens!—and will no doubt pop a few bottles of full-bodied Armand de Brignac brut, his high-end champagne of choice. Served with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, the Ace of Spades, as Jay calls it, is always a home run with the ladies and an easy way to class up champagne service at home.
