The Top NYC Party Venues For Fall 2014

Overview: The much-loved bar Max Fish closed last year, but with enormous support from loyalists and persistence from the owners, it found a new home and reopened last month. The new Max Fish takes over Gallery Bar, but retains the same character that made the original so adored. While the scene is the same, with artists and skateboard kids alike, the attention surrounding the bar over the last year has made it a hot spot for people engaged in the creative community. Location: Max Fish, 120 Orchard St Team: Ulli Rimkus Insider's Scorecard: Regulars of the original have quickly found themselves back at Max Fish, and the bar has been the talk of DJs and creatives over the last month. This all culminated with the FRANK151 x DKNY party, which had the venue crammed with people like May Kwok and Ashley Smith for a performance by Mya.
