Up & Down
Overview: Two floors with two distinct personalities situated in one club where you get to choose the kind of night you want. Since opening last Fashion Week, Up & Down has become the perfect all-in-one destination, with the Butter Group recreating the clubby vibe upstairs that has made places like 1Oak so successful, while enlisting downtown's best to bring their vibe downstairs. The best part of it has been how much the two have merged in the past 8 months, creating excitement and unpredictability to both floors.
Location: Up & Down, 244 W 14th St
Team: Richie Akiva, Scott Sartiano, Ronnie Madra with Evan Frost, Michael Goldberg, Eamon Kelly, Ronnie Flynn, Vance Brooking, Deevee Kashi, Stafford Schlitt
Insider's Scorecard: Once again Up & Down knocked Fashion Week out of the park, with an onslaught of events right at the start. The New York New York party kicked things off with some of the coolest DJs in the city spinning for a crowd of models and artists at the packed party. The week really hit a stride when Mark Ronson DJ'd his birthday party there, and kept it going with performances by Lil Kim and Travis Scott the following days.
