Spotted @ The Box

What's this? B & C crashing into one of the most shocking, decadent cabaret of New York City.

They say it's not over until the fat lady sings, but yesterday night, the ending song was all about the naked lady and a provocative performance. But how come it was already 4 am? Sorry to break it to you B., but you have a tough day at work tomorrow. Don't you ever sleep little Frenchy?

NY Spots reviewed by C

After more than 6 months spent in the City, it is now time for C’s ranking of New York hype clubs:

1. Kiss & Fly

Pro: Best Music, live percussions and saxo

Cons: Quite young audience, very crowded (too many tables on the dance floor)

2. Pink Elephant

Pro: Live music with Tam-tam Guy, great place, nice doorman

Cons: seems to open later than other places, not very fun before 1am

3. Bungalow 8

Pro: Best decor, lounge, music, a piece of summer within the winter. Loved that!

Cons: Don’t know why, but it looks like it’s not anymore a trendy place. Is 27^th street too crowded?

4.Greenhouse

Pro: Amazing place, “eco-friendly”, great music, live saxo guy, great dancing spots

Cons: Can’t really find one

5. Tenjune

Pro: doorstaff not too much into blond skinny girls with mini-skirts, great DJs (thank you for the Tetris-Remix)

Cons: Very crowded, young audience

6. Cain

Pro: South African décor, nice bar, nice music, people dance on table/couches

Cons: Eveyone keeps telling me that it was better before… will never know!

7. Marquee

Pro: 2 rooms, 2 different music styles,

Cons: A little bit too big! Full of wanabees… 4 bucks to check a coat, what’s the f*?

8.Guesthouse

Pro: Good music

Cons: Strange people inside

9. Ultra

Pro: Less exclusive, and more people there for fun, not just to be seen, everyone's dancing on the tables non stop

Cons: Some trash girls

10. Mr West

Pro: Great design outdoor wall.

Cons: Interior just normal

Other “night” places:

RDV: Neo baroque lounge, VERY expensive, hard to get in! Intimidating as almost all girls look like models.

Butter: Great restaurant (somehow pricey), amazing décor, nightlife (only week-ends)

Apt: huge apt, lounge, loved having a cocktail on the bed.

Boucarou: Restaurant/Nightlife, unpretentious, nice spot in East Village!

To Do List: Bijoux, Mansion, The Box!

Closed door: Beatrice Inn, please let me Inn! Don’t know how to handle the “private party” answer. Any invitations more than welcome.

Spotted: Crisis time in NYC... and a nice evening @ Bungalow 8

With Wall Street crashing, is this the end of the potted palm trees and notoriously hardcore door at Bungalow 8 on the now (too?) crowded 27th street? Didn't see anybody order helicopter service that night...


People used to go crazy trying to hail a cab at 3am in Chelsea. But now that more than 15,000 finance jobs have been lost in the city, things feel different. How about trying the subway for a change?

Time to swap your limo for an MTA elevator, lonely girl.
