Soho House, the members only club that helped gentrify the Meatpacking District, is trying to ungentrify itself. Management is giving "corporate" types who diluted the hangout's vaguely creative roots the boot! They're also opening a Berlin outpost (whaaaaa?) in a former Hitler Youth headquarters (double whaaaaa). More»

Members of New York's techno semi-underground are accustomed to falling off the grid for their midnight to noon dance parties. But a soiree over the weekend surprised even some vets of the scene when, for one night (and morning) it transformed a downtown synagogue's basement into the most rollicking club in the city. More»

New Yorkers who complain that the city's nightlife is stuck in an endless rut, take heart: the party scene in Paris is just as anemic. Le Monde even declared the City of Light the "European Capital of Boredom." The only question is which city's nightlife will be the first to have both feet in the grave. More»

If there’s one thing New Yorkers love more than New York, it’s complaining about it. Those weary of the city’s gentrified sheen often fix their rose-colored glasses on the vibrant ‘80s—artists! music! cheap rent!—while forgetting the decades’s woes. Berlin recaptures the frenetic cultural vitality of 1980s New York better than any other city. Broke artists squat in abandoned buildings. Graffiti proliferates. Music wails. The city’s 24/7 club culture is a democracy uncompromised by bottle service. In Berlin, nightlife is a church. And techno is its choir.

There are signs that things are coming full circle. The following parties, clubs and promoters replicate Berlin’s underground, afterhours club culture in New York, all to a techno beat: More»

[More photos by Pink Elephant] We are gearing up for a wild summer at Pink Elephant in the Capri hotel in Southampton. The Koch brothers have taken over the party there, which means we can expect a solid number of best $2k photos from one of the places that started it all. Our GofG Team Hampton is just about ready to go full force ahead (look for a major post on what's going on this weekend later today), but I thought it would be nice to spend today checking in one last time at the Pink Elephant on 27th street. Yes, people are still going. Here's who... More»

Feast your eyes on the Pink Elephant of Sao Paulo. Nights are getting a whole lot more interesting down in Brazil. The decor may not be anything special, but the girls are (even though I have a hard time admitting this), decidedly more beautiful. What is in the water down in Brazil that makes these women so HOTTT?! What's worse....the men are actually LESS attractive than their NY counterparts. No wonder all of my guy friends take want to move to Sao Paulo right now. Anyway, here it is, part one of Pink's total world domination.

Ok DBTH, we get it. You're a nightlife blogger. That being said, you prob shouldn't fashion your site after a smoke-filled whiskey-drenched warren. There"s a reason why there are "ugly lights" at nightclubs. It's so you don"t see very well. Well, the same simply doesn't hold true for a blog. In fact the very opposite is true! Yes, we may not exactly want to read what you have to say DBTH, but at least we should be able to see what we don"t want to read.

Scott Solish of DBTH just accused us of having never "broken a story". Well we've got news for you Scott! We are about to (gulp) break a story! Ever wonder how Scott can be in so many places at one time? A tipster dropped the following message:

The second half of DBTH is Jesse Herman, who is a very small time hotel and club investor. Among his holdings are a few points in Cain -- just enough that he has access to confidential emails and memos send to investors.

That's how DBTH gets all that Cain news. And why every other post on DBTH is a shill for the club.

Some more info on Herman:

*UPDATE: Cain team has denied any arrangement with Jesse Herman. They don't know who he is.

When you're spending $2K on a table out east, you better make sure you're ready to let loose. In case you need some inspiration this weekend, take some from this guy above. He was CLEARLY getting his money's worth last Saturday at Pink Elephant in Southampton. I want to know is what song was playing in the background during this photo op. Any guesses??? I am leaning towards "Irreplaceable". It would explain the pointing from our friend up front. "You must not know bout me, you must not know bout me." Can you see it? Need even more inspiration?:

Cheryl Kuzmawich and Dave Krasnofm seem to think so…

The helicopter-landing equipped newbie has been duking it out with the more established nightspots (Dune, Pink Elephant), and fellow fledgling La Playa.

The thought of driving for hours on the LIE and then waiting in line so that you can finally enjoy your $2k table at a club out east make you want to vomit up your breakfast, but you still want to sound like you know what"s going on with the kids out east? Well now, without stepping off the island, you can sharpen up on your Hampton"s Nightlife Knowledge. But remember, it"s only June, so check back each week for our tally of who"s the hottest player in our Tag Team Summer "08 competition:
