  1. I like tribal house though don't know many names in it. I was surprised though when last Saturday I went to Orchard Bar on the LES and they mixing some tribal with deep house, the DJ was pretty decent. What places spin good tribal in the city?
  2. I remember Penelope Tuesdae, she used to spin at GBH parties in the Tapioco room. She was alright, kinda funny and hot when she would leave the DJ booth in her bikini and start dancing. Two years back for the 99-2000 NYE, I spent it at Brownies in the East Village. There was this cute Asian DJ who spinned great hip-hop. I also once saw her at Bobs on the LES. Girl, if you're on this board, you rocked!
  3. I agree with Tatiana, Twilo had its best year during 97/98. I went to the S&D night in January and had a horrible time, too crowded, commercialized, too many crack E heads not able to handle it. Used to love Tunnel from 95-97 as well. Went about half a year back and it was different as well, the vibe just wasn't there. But that's clubs for you, they change, the parties change and the crowd changes and some new club shows up and the cycle starts again.
  4. It's kind unfair to say 'Hip-hop' sucks. Seems primarily the people on this board are into trance,progressive house, etc. I rarely see posts about hip-hip club and so on. I'm into all of the above. I also love drum'n'bass and 2-step as well which has elements of hip-hop in it. I like hip-hop, I'm from Brooklyn and growing up here its hard not to here it all the time. I love dancing to hip-hop as well, you can get a certain closeness and certain sexual rhythm when dancing to it. What I do I hate is the new rap that Cash Money, Jay-Z, Ludricous all play. All the same shit, about how great they are, how much 'ice' they got, much, same ole' shit. Gangsta rap was decent, old skool rocks. I'm more into the Roots, Arrested Development, Tribe Called Quest etc. Izzy Bar just finished a great undergroup freestyle hip-hop party called 'Real Live Show' that was every Tuesday. Too bad its gone, it had such a great vibe, no thugged out feeling that you get in most major clubs that spin hip-hop. I will say it's hard to find a place that plays good hip-hop, with a great crowd that isn't too thugged out. I agree that a certain element does follow places that play just hip-hop. Just my $.02.
  5. Mugz, sorry to hear that you won't be there on Friday to hear Casey, but understandable after what happened to ya. I've been to Openair on Wednesdays and Saturdays and heard a mix of breaks mixed in. peace
  6. I never had a problem getting into SPA, but I've only been on Wednesday's , never the weekend. I've had fun there, Wednesday night parties use to have a really good ecletic crowd.
  7. Trust me enjoy college while you can. In college I worked full-time, took 16-18 credits per semester, did 4 hours of community service a week, and I still rather be back in college. When you're in college you at least have a goal, graduate. When you're working everday your life becomes more monotous and you're not quite sure what your goal is anymore. Life just feels different. Though I will say having money to party with is quite good.

  10. The Direct Drive party at Baktun is great, I highly recommend it. The crowd there had a lot of energy the last time I was there.
  11. I think its defintely possible, but initially might be a bit awkard. I think most guys become friends with girls b/c they are interested in them in some way. Two of my closest friends are female who I've never had any sort of physical relationship with or have been interested in them that way However, most of my other female friends I've either hooked up with or dated, but b/c it was mainly physical we're able to be friends now after the fact.
  12. Dark beer wise, nothing beats a cold, crisp think dark Guinness with a shamrock on the top. For lighter beers, Hoegarden rocks.
  13. I just flew this past weekend to Norfolk Virginia rountrip (came back on Sunday), my first time since 9/11. I flew out of JFK at the Delta Terminal. I went 2 hours early and it was still crazy. Delta terminal (this isn't new, always has been like this) has it damn security check at the entrace of the terminal before you even check in or get to the ticket counter. So I think cuz of the holiday season (I flew on friday evening) it was crowded, took like 20 minutes on line outside the terminal just to get in. Besides that they were just a little more secure, using the wand detector thing on me very slowly, and there were national guards with machine guns standing buy. Besides that it was the same. Just slower. Also random security checks when you are at the gate and you give your ticket to board.
  14. Shuga, Infrared Lounge in deep in the LES, on Rivington and Pitt (equivalent of Avenue C). If you're coming from Ludlow, Orchard or Clinton Street, make a left on Rivington (if you're facing south) and you'll hit it. It's pretty dark in there, couches and seats around, dance area is very small. I was there a few Saturdays (it's been a while) and it was hard progressive house/trance. Music was good, crowd could have been a little better. It wasn't too crowded when I hit it, but this was months ago.
  15. La Linea has good hip-hop, similiar to Bobs. Technically its in East vilalge/ABC city. Can get kinda crowded. Drinkland is cool on the LES. Fierydesire, you don't mean Nightingales on 2nd Ave? I live near there, that place sucks, drinks are so weak and watered down and place is usually dead.
  16. I've been chilling on the LES for about 3 years now (LES is south of houston, anything north is really East Village or ABC city.) Places I like the most currently: 1) Bar-B on allen, great deep house music, chill environment 2) Lotus Club on clinton, cheap drinks, chill- place is getting a little blown up I think 3) Rivertown - you can never go wrong with this place and the bouncer rocks 4) Local 138 5) Infrared Lounge Other places I used to go to: 1) Swim 2) Lanksy's Lounge 3) Double Happiness 4) Fun 5) Bobs 6) Ludlow Bar 7) Kush 8) Orchard Bar So so places: 1) Abaya - velvet rope, standard lounge, I had fun there but a little to shi shi for that area. 2) Angel - way too blown up, good hip hop on Saturday but way too crowded. Good after partying places to eat: 1) Pomme Frittes on Houston off of Orchard - the BEST 2) Turkish Kebab House -used to be good, these days I dunno.
  17. Depends on what day of the week you ago, the party changes each day. The club as a whole isn't too big, isn't too small. Mid-sized, two floors consisting of a main floor with VIP rooms and lounge alcoves surrounded it. Downstairs in the pinky is smaller than the main room, darker, but some couches and a side room near the DJ booth (that no one seems to use.) Usually GBH parties on Friday nights are funky house music, sometimes getting a bit harder as the night progresses. In the Tapioco room its usually old skool, hip-hopl, 80's. Downstairs depends on the venues, but a lot of the time its 2-step, house, old school, or special guest DJs.

  20. A place that advertises a 'tomato on a burger' as a special menu item should say something about the time of food it servers. Used to love White Castle as a kid in Brooklyn. THen when in high school they opened up on near my school, me and all my friend ate there, and we all got sick as hell that first week. I barely left the porcelain queen. Never at there again. There's a place in Dallas called Whataburger, very similiar.
