Cipriani’s Upstairs. It was the spot of
GofG’s first party post ever (when we caught a certain famous
Mortimer flashing our camera’s way back in May of ‘07). This
downtown institution has had it’s
fair share of drama, but there’s no denying that it has managed to out stand the test of time,
it’s Sunday night karoke parties is still one of the
hottest games in town. So why are they closing their doors this Sunday?!
Relax. Team Cipriani, made up of
Giuseppe Cipriani and his sons
Giuseppe and Maggio Cipriani, along with
Max Burgio have a giant remodel up their sleeves. They plan on closing down their doors after this Sunday in order to redo the space which they will then re-open around Thanksgiving time. But not before they throw a giant party to celebrate.
They are teaming up with
Derek and Daniel Koch from The Dual Groupe to host a giant double header Halloween party. This Saturday, the first “
Day & Night of the Living Dead” brunch will take place at
Revel, the new location the boys moved to (from
Merkato 55). Afterward, everyone will head to Cipriani Downtown Upstairs for
“Day & Night HALLOWEEN” party.
The renovations for the space will go into full swing after this party. Get your reservations this weekend, for one last look at the party spot you couldn’t get into when you first moved to NYC. Invites below…
