Peter Gatien is arguably heralded as the King of New York City nightlife by most in the business. But his reign of the 80's and 90's underground club scene (with ownership of Limelight, Tunnel, Palladium, and Club USA) came crumbling apart after Mayor Guiliani cracked down with the cops, and pegged Gatien as the face of the downfall of the nightlife counterculture. Now, his daughter, successful filmmaker Jen Gatien, delves into the shift that happened in New York City nightlife during Giuliani's mayor-ship with her documentary Limelight which premieres tonight at Sunshine Cinemas. She talked to us about her film, her father, and the current state of New York nightlife. More»

Afterward guests hit the Bowery Hotel where we spoke with Jen Gatien, Peter's daughter and a producer of the film, and Steve Lewis, legendary NYC nightlife figure. More»

With the announcement of the conversion of Limelight into a retail space, we have to wonder if there will ever be any mega clubs again in New York.
