In New York, a restaurant that makes it 10 years might as well qualify for a plaque from the Landmarks Preservation Commission. So you’ve got to hand it toIndochineas the Lafayette Street classic celebrates its 25th Anniversary with a party, and a book! More photos and story below… More »
[Bella's (R), Southside (L)] Anthony and Tom Martignetti will toast the 1st birthday of their Soho club, Southside, on November 5th (invite below). But what are they really celebrating? Besides its name, little about the venue has changed since the brothers brought a loyal preppy crowd to 1 Cleveland Place in 2006 with Bar Martignetti and its downstairs bar, Bella’s. More »

Give credit to Diesel for upstaging its own famous denim in the name of a good party. Last night, the company celebrated its new line of glow-in-the-dark apparel with a Flash For Fun bash at Love, the neon and stalactite-themed Village club somehow reminiscent of both underground raves and Fraggle Rock.

A big, family style dim sum restaurant is where most people go to eat away their hangovers. There’s no better fix for the the bleary-eyed masses than chicken feet wheeled straight out to their Lazy Susan-adorned tables. But in a brilliant business move, the folks down at Chinatown dim sum banquet hall 88 Palace have decided to not only cure hungover misery, but to cause it. More »
New York’s highest court ruled yesterday that the owners of gargantuan apartment complexes Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village owe 4,000 of their tenants an estimated $200 million in damages after charging too much in rent. (Hey, New York’s highest court, when will I get my happy verdict?) There are many wise things the winners could do with this money, but why not spend it on food and booze at these nearby watering holes first? More »
UPDATE: We just got word from Greenhouse management who offered the following explanation of the incident: “An individual came to Greenhouse looking for his ex-girlfriend and the gentleman she was with. Upon entry to the club, he immediately attacked the gentleman (who was with his ex-girlfriend). Greenhouse took every security precaution, immediately broke-up the fight and called the police to handle the situation. The woman involved in the incident was able to provide police with information on the attacker, who had been stalking her for weeks.”
Author Teri Woods is suing SoHo’s eco-friendly nightclub Greenhouse for $1 billion, claiming doormen refused entry to her and 175 guests she’d invited to a book release party because they were black. But a tipster tells us that owner Barry Mullineaux might have a more pressing problem on his hands, in the form of a triple stabbing. Writes our source:
“stabbing happened @ Greenhouse Sunday Morning/after Saturday night, 3 people were knifed, one was a bouncer and one person was stabbed 3 times. Police locked everyone in for a while, crime scene. Guy got it near the heart.”
Last October, Diesel threw an event it called the “biggest international party ever,” with a shindig that started in Tokyo and touched down on fifteen other cities before a big Brooklyn finale. Now, the denim purveyors are at it again with an open bar bash scheduled for October 27th. Where, you ask? More »
The annual CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival has taken over the city once again. Starting last night, hundreds of bands, some established and many destined to be the next big thing, swarmed the city’s bars, clubs and concerts halls for the festival, which runs through October 24th. Music, of course, is the main focus. But an event like this also means partying. And if an upstart act doesn’t happen to land a record deal, he or she might as well get some lovin’. So why not help them out? The following spots are all located near CMJ venues and should give you a chance of celebrating with the talent after a successful show and cheering them up after a bust: More »
The team behind absinthe-centric Chinatown lounge Apotheke just got cleared to open Pulqueria, a taco and margarita joint next door on Doyers Street. Pulqueria might seem like an affront on the area’s innumerable dumpling holes-in-the-wall and noodle shops. But it’s really just another instance of NYC bars, restaurants and clandestine strip clubs operating in unexpected places. Some of the spots below are stubborn holdouts. Others are examples of neighborhood imperialism. But all make for pleasant detours from the scenes that surround them…. More »

Cipriani’s Upstairs. It was the spot of GofG’s first party post ever (when we caught a certain famous Mortimer flashing our camera’s way back in May of ‘07). This downtown institution has had its fair share of drama, but there’s no denying that it has managed to stand the test of time, its Sunday night karoke parties are still one of the hottest games in town. So why are they closing their doors this Sunday?! More »
