Chez Andre
Overview: It wouldn't be an accurate Top Venue post without an Andre Saraiva venue included. The French graffiti artist has always been a skilled nightlife impresario, most notably with his multiple Le Baron locations. His ability to attract the most stylish tastemakers to his venues is second to none, and it's no different here. Despite its initial opening as a pop-up, we're confident about the future of Chez Andre now that the Standard East Village is becoming a main attraction.
Location: 25 Cooper Sq
Team: Andre Saraiva (Le Baron, Le Bain), Andre Balazs (Standard Hotels, Chateau Marmont, Sunset Beach)
Insider's Scorecard: Chez Andre has always been host to fun events, which often utilize the stage set up for bands to perform. Prior to Fashion Week, man-about-town Waris Ahluwalia teamed up with Aldo to host a charitable event launching their new collaboration bracelets. Purple Magazine also chose the location to host their Purple Party, which was previously held at the Boom Boom Room for years.
