The Top NYC Party Venues For Fall 2014

Overview: Not many venues can bring people right up to Times Square, but the opulence of Diamond Horseshoe is too hard to resist. The nightclub/theater evokes the glitz and glamour of the original version, with the intent to nudge patrons towards uninhibited enjoyment of its various offerings. A ticket to the performance Queen of the Night gets you in, but the club has also been host to parties for revelers looking to experience the intricate space. Where: Diamond Horseshoe, 235 W 46th St Team: Aby Rosen, Randy Weiner Insider's Scorecard: Diamond Horseshoe has always been the perfect contrast between stylish elegance and unhinged celebration. There were chic events like the Cynthia Rowley presentation back in spring and the Tony Award nominations, but once the downtown crowd shuffles up to the venue antics ensue. The Faberge Big Egg Hunt after-party had well-heeled guests letting loose, while the Galore Magazine party last week proved to be one of the best parties of NYFW, with Justin Bieber, Usher, Diplo, and more taking in performances by scantily clad dancers.
