Sunday night Morillo - Tao Drai's - Roger Sanchez & Serge Devant Anyone have any idea on set times, particularly for Drai's? What time do you think a headliner like Roger would come on?

Any EDM DJs at Tao Beach on Saturday?

Greenie, thanks for the info. Can you also provide some recommendations for Thurs/Fri? I'm coming down with a bach party crew 9/20-23 and had planned on hooking up a table on the Pure Terrace for Fri night, but am maybe thinking we might want to try Jet instead. But I've never been so don't know what the vibe is like and what would be the better choice. Also any suggestions for Thurs night? We're staying at the Palms and were probably going to stick with Moon/Ghost Bar even though it's mostly hip hop. Didn't think we had any house choices that night until afterhours. Thanks for the add'l insight!

Great reviews. I suggest adding primary music genre as well.

Only other option is Drai's. But I'd rather go to this so somebody give me some ammo on why Empire is better than Drai's. I'm visiting that weekend, but my bro lives there and I'll need to convince him and his girl (who are Drai's loyalists!!) that this is a better option.

so what time does after hours start?

Thanks for the suggestions! mattm20 mentioned checking gypsy tea for after hours. what time does after hours start in NYC?

Not familiar with Mazi...what style of house does he spin?

Visiting NYC that weekend. Big fan of progressive house DJs like Hernan Cattaneo, Satoshie Tomie, Nic Fanciulli, Sander K. Does anyone have any suggestions for good clubs to hit that weekend? I don't necessarily need big name DJ's...just need good progressive house. Thanks for your suggestions.

Thanks. Crobar it is for Friday night. I still need Saturday night plans. Does anyone have any suggestions for smaller (i.e. 1000-1500 capacity clubs) venues that play good house? I don't need big names, just good music. Preferably on the progressive tip. Also, what's a good time to show up? It's just 2 guys, 2 girls so I'm hoping we won't have line issues. Do you need to have a guest list reference to help get in, or can you just show up? Sorry for being a rookie. NYC is a different scene than West Coast so I need all the help I can get. Thanks!

thanks...i had a feeling i'd probably like crobar better. I'm 33 now so a bit past the massive younger rave type crowds. How's Saturday night at Crobar? DJ Boris spins tribal progressive I hear? I'd rather not do Crobar back to back Fri and Sat. I've only heard of the big clubs, but I imagine there are smaller clubs that play great house music? Any suggestions? I like most house styles with a preference towards progressive.

I'll be in NY from Seattle and would like to get some opinions on the better club/music. Never been to NY before so don't know anything about the venues. Saw PVD/Jerry Bonham in Seattle. IMO Jerry was the better of the 2...sick sick progressive beats (which I favor over trance). Never seen Pete Tong before so not too familiar with his sytle. You guys have any opinions/advice on what the clubs are like and how the scene would differ? PVD is 18+ and I heard Roxy is also a skating rink so I imagine you might get more of a rave crowd. Thanks for your thoughts!

I hear you on Ice. Last 4 times I was there it wasn't exactly the liveliest scene. But the music is more important than the crowd to me and the options are pretty slim until Drais gets going. I will probably skip 7. There's really no point when I consistently have a good time at Drais and know I will end up there anyway. Mix I've been meaning to check out so we'll see if I can work that in at the beginning. As far as 5150 after Drais, I've never been there but that's probably a little too much. By that time, I'll be wanting to get back to my room for that kind of fun instead.

Forgot about Mix. What timeline would you suggest hitting up these places? 8 Mix, 10 Pure, 12 Ice, Seven 3?, Drais 5? That's a long ass night.

Cool. Sounds like its worth checking out the Pure balcony to see Faarsheed Fri night. So the plan is: Fri - Pure, Ice (maybe), Drais Sat - Ice, Drais Sun - Rehab, ?? Any other suggestions for house music?

So what's the scene like on the balcony? Is it worth checking out? Heading to LV 8/19-8/20 and I feel like I have to stop at Pure just because of all the hype. Requirement is good house music, a scene that's not just loungey (i.e. people are actually dancing), and the DJ isn't playing strictly chill out music on the balcony. I just don't want to waste my time battling the madness to get into Pure if the scene is too chill up on the balcony. I have no interest in hip hop in the main room. If it's not worth it, I'll just start my night with Ice unless you have other suggestions. Thanks for your input.

Anyone go? Haven't seen him in a long time...how was it?

You were there last year, right? Is this place just packed like a sardine can? I've heard good things pretty much so I'm mostly curious about room to move, or sit, or dance. Or should I just plan on having enough room to just jump straight up and down?

Cool. Everything sounds really good. Hopefully I'll have a good appetite...better hit 'em up before the serious partying begins. Any good suggestions for breakfast places?

Awesome. Sounds great. Thanks for the recommendation. Any more hole in the wall places? I seriously doubt I'll be doing any fine dining considering all the partying I'll be doing.

OK. Plenty of info has been exchanged back and forth on the best parties, clubs, etc. But what about good places to eat? Any good recommendations out there? Hole in the wall Cuban joints? Restaurants on the nicer side to hit up? Basically anything that's good, quality food. But no

anyone notice that Friday's lineup is TBA now? so much for confirmed. also, what's up with the thursday event: HOSTED BY SANDER K. what a bunch of bull...headlining his name like he's going to spin. am i supposed to get excited because he is somewhere in the club?

Here's the link. Someone help with the name of this cut. http://www.clubspace.com/sanderk.html

Not sure, but I'd like to know too. There's also a sick track when you click on the Sander K 2/19 flyer. Anyone know what that is?

Damn....Steve Smooth. That is one fun DJ! This party keeps getting better. How does the guest list work?
