EXCLUSIVE: Paul Johnson-Calderon Can’t Catch A Break With Security Cameras; Gets Caught Vandalizing Cleo Vauban’s Union Square Apartment Building!
[Paul Johnson-Calderon and Jules Kirby, during happier times]. Uh-oh. Looks like Paul Johnson-Calderon (PJC) has had a problem with security cameras, again. Only eight short months after the bow tie wearing social gay was caught stealing a handbag on film at the Eldridge, there’s another run-in with surveillance cameras, but this time it’s not for being a klepto.

Manhattan Transfers: NYC Venues Where You Least Expect Them
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.

New York Is NOT Dead. Where The Cool Kids Are…
New York Nightlife Dead?? I don’t think so! And, I spent the better half of my afternoon yesterday on a mission to prove the naysayers wrong. I presented one of my favorites, Blue Ribbon, and now you all deserve to know where the coolest people (for lack of a better word) are hanging out after hours. So, I asked A Rising PR, A Nightlife Columnist, A G9 Connoisseur, A Dapper Business Man With a Penchant for Expensive Things and Beautiful Women,The REAL Izzy Gold, An Indie Worshiper of Rock, A Creative Jeweler, A Couple of Trust Funders “In Transition”, Two Party Starting DJ’s, A Paid “Predictor of Trends”, A Venture Capitalist, A Cool Cravat Cat, and A Hipster Magazine Editor where their favorite night spots were (excluding the known Beatrice Inn, The Box, 1Oak, Martignettis, Rose Bar, Gold Bar, The Eldridge, Bowery Hotel, etc.), and here is what they came up with:

The newest hot spot, in the rising Chinatown neighborhood, has hit JACKPOT. This place came up on almost everyone’s list. And why not? Who wouldn’t love a nice absinthe cocktail after a tough day of being cool? More »
