The Top 12 NYC Party Venues For Fall

The Westway

[Valentino at The Westway at Fall Fashion Week 2011] Overview: Housed in an unpretentious building on the Westside Highway, The Westway manages to attract a consistently cool crowd. Maybe it has something to do with the stripper poles, which remain intact from when the space was the The Westside Gentleman's Club, but it's more likely that downtowners are still excited about the club, which opened a little over a year ago. Location: 75 Clarkson Street Team: Matt Kleigman and Carlos Quirarte (the Smile, Jane Ballroom) Details: The Westway is always home to some of the rowdiest parties of the season; last Fall Fashion Week Carine Roitfeld and Valentino put their karaoke skills on display at the former strip-club while celebrating Roitfeld's collaboration with Barney's. Insider's Scorecard: The Westway kicked off the season last Thursday night with the Supreme party and a performance by Three 6 Mafia, and continued the party on Friday night with Nasty Gal's blow out. The space still maintains some of the feel of its roots as a strip-club, setting it apart from some of the other clubs in the neighborhood.
