Well, who the f@*k doesn’t know Wass Stevens!? Or rather, who hasn’t been rejected or admitted by him at one time or another at Marquee? Wass is the middle weight Brooklyn bomber who sports custom made Ron & Ron suits and runs the door at Marquee. Always located on the left side of the door, (Rich Thomas works the right side), he relishes in his 30% acceptance rate, and 70/30 girl-guy ratio (sounds like he is running a school of higher education). At Veruka, Wass was known as the highest paid doorman in New York City, and has certainly continued this trend at Marquee.
He has also been shot more times than 50 cent by disgruntled club rejectees over the past two decades. And those Italian driving gloves you see him wearing? Those are in case he has to break out his semi-pro boxing skills and take you to the matt! Wass doesn’t mess around with his suits or his job. Curiously you’ll NEVER see him inside Marquee enjoying the crowd or drinking, he’s ALWAYS at the door. And you’ll NEVER get his age. He’s said in different interviews that he is either in his 30s or refuses to give an age. We are guessing 45ish…
So what does he do when he’s not working the door from 11pm-4am? He’s an actor of course. You may have been a surprised as we were when we saw him in World Trade Center, playing the brother of a Transit Cop (Nicholas Cage). We don’t know what his character said throughout the entire film because everytime he opened his mouth the only words we heard were ”three bottle minimum!”
Ohh my God…please don’t start glamorizing these assholes…they are the reason why many of us have to make alternate weekend plans just in case he decides our money and good looks are not worthy of the places in which people like him work.
Hee hee hee, like the joke. Yeah, I recognized the photo and that face right away. PS! Clint from Pink mysteriously left / got fired and is now doing the door at Room Service! Get me the dirt behind that!

Clint flipped out and went surfing in Australia for a couple of months. Gorgeous, but troubled.

Bring a blanket and come downtown for one of the most-
anticipated free concerts of the summer.

To celebrate the Hudson’s 400th anniversary New York City will putting on a fireworks display like never before. To join in the festivities the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Times Square will be offering rooms with perfect views and throwing a rooftop party for the first 100 guests to book rooms. These rooms and the party will be offered at special rates listed below.
Also, if there are people that would only like to attend the rooftop party, there is a special offer for that as well.
Come celebrate independence on the roof of the Rivington!
After a week hiatus we're back on the roof and back to the jacuzzis. The weather is supposed to be nice, so if you've been waiting for an appropriate time to come get loose in a rad New York City penthouse, Thursday is absolutely that time.
Benjamin "B Roc" Ruttner of HeavyRoc Music and Jonathan Price Totaro of Reason NY will be deejaying, bottles in the club, babes, etc etc etc.
We're expecting a lot of people so, if you can, please rsvp to info@lolanewyork.com or try and come early
After celebrating our country all day, spend all night honoring our king...of pop, that is. The Suzie Wong lounge will be spinning Michael Jackson music starting after the fireworks and lasting until the wee hours of dawn.
In late 2007, five young professionals, long connected by both friendship and family, decided to pool and tap into their own altruistic nature while encouraging others to do so. Their forum - the party. Calling themselves ‘fun-raisers’ their track record bears evidence
