The big story in tomorrow’s city elections is the David and Goliath non-battle between Mike Bloomberg and Bill Thompson.

GofG is proud to be a nightlife preservationist. We want to protect local culture by recognizing the industry as a critical part of New York City, and there’s just no room for the buzzkill “not in my backyard” residents (NIMBYS). Perhaps most importantly, we had a blast at their launch event. More»

After recently getting community board approval to open up a restaurant and downstairs club/lounge in the old Plumm space, Richie Akiva and Scott Sartiano are set to open up what might be the next NYC hotspot at 246 West 14th Street.  Think Butter, their previous dinning clubbing combo designed by Steve Lewis that cornered Monday nights.

Harlotting. SO recession 2k. More»

For those hoping for a quasi resurgence of Club Kids and a subsequent “rescue” of NYC Nightlife lead by the return of Michael Alig will have wait.  Parole officers dashed hopes earlier this month when they denied his parole, and set a July 2010 hearing as the next data point for guidance in his release from prison.  The famed party-promoter, junkie, and murderer was apparently dinged for prescription drugs and moved to solitary confinement.  Uncle Steve Lewis predicted 4 years in solitary after Percocet was found in Alig’s system.  A recent comment on GofG claims:

He just got another 3 years for being found with prescription drugs…”
