Despite its utterly normal outward appearance, the Rhesus monkey known as ANDi bears an extra gene taken from, of all creatures, a jellyfish. And while so-called transgenic animals have been created before, this is the first time such a species-mixing experiment has been performed on a primate, the class of animals that includes human beings--a point driven eerily home by the monkey...

...concoctions, if you're still standing, take a refreshing walk about a half-kilometer north to another popular nightspot, 180 Proof, at 40 St. Mark's Road. This former Catholic church was converted two years ago into a hip nightclub featuring steepled ceilings and oak support beams. There are extra seating areas outdoors and upstairs, so finding a berth isn't usually a problem. And you will need one after the house specialty, an Indian version of a Long Island iced tea made with locally produced vodka and whiskey...
