Now here's a perk: We hear that Google's New York office gets local employees on the list of three clubs every weekend, so they don't have to wait in line with the bridge-and-tunnel crowd. While somehow we doubt Google's HR department houses the hippest arbiters of Gotham nightlife, we suspect that Google's Big Apple-based geeks party just a wee bit harder than the drones of the Googleplex in Mountain View. 
Most Googlers' idea a good time is exemplified by this month's hopelessly lame "Google Dance 2007" event at the Search Engine Strategies conference, pictured above. Know which clubs are on this week's list? Or spotted a Googler in the wild? Let us know.

I heard they go to the bench a lot.
Nothing says wild man better than the three names name Craig Neville-Manning....booyaaaaa!
There should be a Gawker site for hot shirtless geek men. But only if Owen runs it - I suspect our tastes are very similar.
Getting on the list is one thing. Getting any is an entirely different matter.
Having witnessed the early rise and fall of CentroFly in 1999, I'm convinced that nothing can kill a good NYC club faster than it being discovered by dot-commers. I say this, of course, as a dot-commer myself.
