Christina Aguilera and hubby Jordan Bratman hung up their hula skirts and opted for a casual date night in NYC.

TMZ cameras spotted the couple heading into The Waverly Inn & Garden in Greenwich Village for dinner, and Jordie, ever the gentleman, opened the door for his wife and helped her out of the limo -- ain't no other man like him! Eva Mendes was caught leaving the eatery as well.

Later that night, Jermaine Dupri, Travis Barker and Paul Wall hit up Stereo, arriving in an Escalade brigade, whereupon Dupri and Wall amped up and brought the house down.

Also out in NYC -- Pete Wentz, celebrating his birthday with girlfriend Ashlee Simpson at his bar Angels and Kings, and Travis from Gym Class Heroes, who had some profound words about the ladies inside the bar.
