Best Place to Show and Prove

People just don't get dressed up on the weekends anymore. Sure, there are still plenty of suits on the Plaza, but Westport clubs suffer from crass displays of near-nudity and vinyl shirts that outshine SUV headlights. Higher Ground Entertainment's First Friday events, monthly affairs that target the urban elite, dictate classier attire -- no sleeves, no slacks, no dice. Dignified dress aside, these aren't stuffy, wine-and-cheese affairs. DJs spin hip-hop hits and deep-soul grooves as dapper dancers pack venues such as hotel ballrooms, swanky reception halls and even Arrowhead Stadium's Pavilion.
