bored much?!?!
fourth time Ive written today, but i suppose its better than waiting tables...
Whats on my mind now is the decline of all NYC nightlife. I'm bored with it. NY is supposedly known as cutting edge, new, innovated, thriving, daring... if so then why is every single night club exactly the same? Every so often a new club will emerge. A few celebrities will show up, a few articles will be written, but then, after a month or so of hype, the establishment will fall into the hands of the ever eager promoters. Ruin. It seems nowadays not only does every club look and feel the same, but everything is so promoter driven. Its ridiculous. "Ask for so-and-so at the door." " Sit at my table." I'm completely over it.
I think someone should contribute to the attempted evolution of nightlife and open a distinctivly different venue . Let me paint a picture of what we have now at the majority of "hot spots" aroundthe city: dark. loud, overproduced music. crammed bar. drunk girls dancing. guys who think there the shit because they buy tables and spend $1000/night (please). vodka cranberries. annoying people taking pictures of themselves. starfuckers.
It seems their just letting anyone in these days! I want the exclusive glamour. The excitement of meeting new, interesting people from around the world, as opposed to what is now the stereotypical club goer. I want new decor. And lightning! I'm not talking mega watts, but is it that intimidating to really see the people there? Perhaps that's why there letting everyone in now! And the music- its awful! The same obnoxious songs heard in every place in the city. Cant they introduce something new? And is it absolutely necessary to blare it so loud you cant hear the person next to you speak?
So here's my proposal:
Open somewhere that puts a fresh spin on the decor. Nix the "sexy, dark" look. Get inspiration from somewhere new (french Rivera? Gothic cathedral?) Something that doesn't involve too much black, brown, or Burgundy. I have to commend Bungalow here, the palm trees and decent lighting add a refreshing touch. Speaking of lighting- get some! I hate stepping out of the club only to realize the person I just met is a total hag! Get a new DJ. Someone know ones heard of and use the club as a venue to promote and introduce new music. And by new I mean groundbreaking new. Never been heard before. And for gods sake, be more exclusive! Get a doorman, better yet, get 3 doormen, and instruct them not to let anyone who is not a celebrity ,celebuspawn, socialite, millionaire, jet setter, or incredibly over the top gorgeous in. Period. No list. No promoters. No tables even. Be creative- put in a pool or a trampoline or a massage therapist or interactive video games. I don't know, just put some spice in it! Something fun and different. Why not? Hire some entertainers. Showgirls, fortune tellers, magicians. That would be a step towards evolving nightlife!
While I speak of the majority of the clubs, I have to applaud some. BED's decor isn't bad. Especially their rooftop bar, which boasts fantastic views! Room Service took a step in the right direction, with their whole "concierge service", although Ive never seen anyone actually use it. And the decor just kills whatever efforts they made in the first place. Also, Sky lounge at the Hotel Gavennsport wouldn't be bad if A. it weren't always so damn crowded with nobodies. and B. they opened the pool (I'm big on view btw)
So thats that. I'm over it. When I'm a multi billionaire I'll invest in my dream club.
As for now I'll stick to my few favorites. And private events. The end.
