Celebrity Guests at Tenjune, Marquee, Small Lounges to Check Out & the Hottest Club Right Now

So last night (Tuesday), Sean Kingston was supposed to be performing at Tenjune. So don’t lose faith in Tenjune just because of the owner’s new club project Simyone. Tenjune still has some energy left in it. Marquee was having a much bigger celebrity. I wanted to tell people early on who it was, but the managers [...]

A Night of ‘Green’ Clubbing: Part 2: Sobriety

In Part 1, I wrote about my first experience at eco-friendly New York nightclub Greenhouse. What I didn’t go into is how this was my first nightclub experience since my decision to quit drinking. Yes. I wrote: Quit. Drinking. Quit drinking and you’ll find this is not an activity your friends support you in. Strange, right? Your friends stand [...]

Gone in 60 Seconds

When I wrote about my first date with Marquee a few weeks ago, I failed to mention that I returned to the club the very next night. My pride only just got out of rehab. This time, I was there for another event. I’ll be honest: I don’t even know what the specifics were–only that it [...]

Ten Reasons to Check Out Bijoux

I was one of the last people to get on the Bijoux bandwagon as the club’s launch coincided with my temporary retreat from society. Too bad, because the place is a lot of fun. Several new locales have launched in the past months including RDV and Greenhouse, both of which I’ll be formulating written thoughts [...]

Cain Now With a ‘Luxe’

I was flabbergasted when Jamie Mulholland and Jayma Cardosa announced they were gutting and redecorating 27th street nightclub Cain. Sure, 27th street isn’t what it used to be, but from what I could see, safari-themed Cain wasn’t suffering. The music was always preppy, the promoters plentiful and the dance floor consistently full – maybe with [...]

Halloween Decor Winner & Political Fun

The thing about Halloween landing on a Friday this year is that it gave people the excuse to make it a weekend long event. For some, face painting and sugar-highs started as early as Thursday. I’ve written in the past about how I’m not a huge Halloween fan. I created a cop-out excuse last year about [...]

Yes Marquee Can

After being in New York for nearly three months, my social scene remains somewhat limited. While MMB tends to frequent the most exclusive nightclubs in the city, her little sister is reluctant to venture out of the East Village. I’m comfortable in the scene I refer to as NYU.S.A.—an address that’s a fusion of [...]

Slipping into SoHo House

Last night, I did something I probably should’ve made a priority to do long ago – spent an evening at Meatpacking’s members only British club the SoHo House. The door policy is extremely intimidating, as in if you’re not a member, a hotel guest, or someone whose first and last name was put with the [...]

Meet Mr. West

I hid my head in a hole during fashion week and one of the many things I missed was the opening of new nightlife locale Mr. West on 22nd and 11th ave. Their claim to fame is hosting Zac Posen’s party post runway show. In traditional New York style, the place [...]

The Non-Existent Door Person

As clubs got increasingly smaller and only needed to let ten people in every hour, the role of the doorperson dramatically changed. The door guy went from someone who was constantly stressed and permanently outside maniacally waving a clipboard to someone who has relatively nothing to do. If your club’s capacity is eighty, meaning the doorperson [...]
