Robert Pattinson hangs up his fangs in New York City while New Moon hits theaters with a vengeance

As movie lines wind around the corner of your favorite theater so fans can see Robert Pattinson and his fang gang on the big screen in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the harried actor stayed away. Instead, he enjoyed some R&R in New York City.

One stop on his low-key Manhattan adventure: Avenue.

Pattinson partied on the downlow with his co-star, Kristen Stewart, at the so-called gastro-lounge (pictured, below), a moniker coined by owner Noah Tepperberg.

His place is THE place in Manhattan to get cozy, listening to tunes while the lights move and strobe and then zone down to mellow late in the evening.

Some say this is a club. I say the bi-level Avenue is more a snazzy conversation pit since, although there is a great DJ, there isn't any dance floor, just a lot of cushy seating.

Food comes by way of bento boxes holding little noshes of waffle frites, Kobe sliders, and pretzel dogs. Cocktails are a bit on the daring side, especially when you order the fruity Belvedere Sex on the Beach, not a common Manhattan drink where Manhattans have been more the style in years past. Then there's the Dom Perignon Bellini, a favorite among regulars.

Reportedly, Pattinson liked the food, drink, and atmosphere at this cherished Chelsea establishment so much so that he stayed there with girlfriend (?) Stewart until 3 a.m. For some of that time, Joan Jett was also on hand, enjoying DJ Mike Nouveau's rock oriented play picks.

One song on the roster: "Common People" by Pulp, a tune to which Pattinson sang along from his seat on the mezzanine, according to Us magazine.

More New York adventures ensue for the young New Moon star, coming soon. Meanwhile, read more travel adventures about Pattinson, Stewart and the Twilight Saga: New Moon vampire clan HERE andHERE and HERE and HERE and HERE.
