Below 14th Street, Travis Bass is a familiar face to the locals, downtown creatives, and nightlife regulars. Being a resident of Chinatown since 1998, Travis has done the event design for parties in the same neighborhood he calls home. He is known for New York-centric popup parties in converted Chinese restaurants, such as Madame Wong’s and Red Egg, that have attracted models and socialites. His new pop-up party, Inga, is at the space 141 Chrystie Street. To this event designer, inspiration comes from the retro, the glamorous, the cinematic, and the real.

Guest of a Guest met with Travis at the Bowery Hotel to discuss his latest pop up party, Inga. Over coffee and wine, Travis spoke enthusiastically about his projects and the things that keep New York and downtown nightlife authentic. [Travis Bass, Photo via Purple Diary] More»

Americans know Europeans are cooler and more sophisticated than them. They smoke. They sunbathe nude. They scarf down Nutella for breakfast but stay thin (because they smoke). But one Euro habit that Yanks and New Yorkers scoff at rather than emulate is clubbing. Will Sankeys and District 36, two "club clubs" coming to NYC this fall, change that? More»

Summer's almost over. But just because the air will be getting brisk soon doesn't mean we can't imagine future additions to New York's summertime scene. Especially when they're as cool as the proposed floating pool in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. More»
