Meatpacking District, 10014

Cool in Your Code — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:52:58 +0000

CiNYC takes you inside the Meatpacking District, the 24-hour neighborhood with 20 square blocks of some of the most fashionable restaurants and bars in town. Bordered on the north by Chelsea Market and Gansevoort Street to the south, the former Gansevoort Meat Center now has designers, fashionistas, and stylists dining, dancing and shopping alongside actual meatpacking plants.

If you take dancing seriously, Cielo is the place for you to shake your groove thang. This award-winning club on Little West 12th Street is a state-of-the-art space built around a sunken dance floor, making the most of the very best in electronic music. For breathtaking views, delightful cocktails, and even a toasty dip, the heated rooftop pool at the Hotel Gansevoort is open every day of the year. A little bit of everything can be found at ONE, an enclave of several small lounges that flow seamlessly into one another. Dine on Tuna Tartare, Australian Rack of Lamb, or Ravioli of Wild Mushrooms and Lemon Grass Cream – then sip champagne and dance to the DJ’s fresh tunes. Come Behind the Ropes and pack it all in.

The Bunker

Cool in Your Code — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 17:14:30 +0000

When you’re looking for a party, just head to The Bunker. For the past five years, these merry makers have been driving the dance floor for folks from all over the city. Their regular Friday night gig at 11211 cultural hub Galapagos has become the city’s “it” party with world-renowned international artists taking the tables. This group knows how to bring the heat. The Bunker host, Bryan Kasenic – aka DJ Spinoza – says, “On New Year’s Eve we had a 19 hour party with 600 people.” Along with DJ Derek Plaslaiko, DJ and soundman Naudio, and hostess Seze Devres, Kasenic appreciates the NYC scene. “We are blessed to be in New York City where many popular DJs from around the world come to visit and then stop by to play for the The Bunker.” Next time you feel like dancing, pop over to Galapagos to get your groove on.

Taj

Cool in Your Code — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 04:07:44 +0000

New York City is not only home to some of the best partygoers, it houses some of the best party spaces. Taj is an exotic lounge reminiscent of the Far East, smack in the middle of one of the clubbiest blocks in the city. Book out the entire space, reserve the mezzanine for your friends only, or set up a guest list. “It’s a really sexy room. It’s the atmosphere of a bigger club, but it’s still got an intimate feel,” says Ruth Tranter, Taj Events Director. Dine on the Indian/French/American fusion cuisine, then dance to the DJs all night long.

EXTRA: How To Get On The Guest List

Guest list limbo has affected many New Yorkers. Inside the club, there’s a rager. Outside, there’s a line of party-hopefuls who are anxious to get in. A few “chosen ones” are ushered past the discerning doorman, but everyone else is left huddled in the cold. How can you get into some of the most exclusive places? Get your email address on a promoter’s distribution list, and you’ll regularly receive party invites. You can start by contacting Marc Siegel, a seasoned promoter who handles guest lists for Guesthouse, The Grand and Retox. Once you’re in, work the crowd. “Having a relationship with the promoters helps,” Siegel reveals. People that show up at the same spot and chat up the party-throwers are more likely to get special treatment. Of course, that doesn’t help if you’re at a hot new venue for the first time and the bouncers are giving you lip. “You’ll get into a place faster if you buy a table, bring a group and dress the part,” Siegel says, who mentions that “stylish and proper” usually does the trick. Arriving with a mixed group of girls and guys is ideal, but there are exceptions. “Guys should break up into groups and go early, but a group of girls will have less of an issue.”

To do away with door policy dramatics, or to start throwing parties of your own, contact Siegel at marc@L1Events.com.
