I'm writing this to let out my frustration that I have regarding NYC clubs and federal laws... Here it goes: I was born in New York but I grew up in Europe so it was a normal thing for me to go out with my friends on weekends for the last 3 years. Clubs in Europe are great, it is one big peaceful party every night even though it is 18+ sometimes even 16+ to a certain extend. Now that I moved back to New York 2 weeks ago, I wanted to go out last weekend like I usually do. I have to say I'm 20 so there was my first problem already. What club to go to if I'm not 21. I never had that problem in Europe so I went online and found out that webster hall had 18+ party's on Saturdays. BIG MISTAKE.... Not only did I have to pay 30 $ to get in, no they asked me to pay 10$ so I could re enter whenever I had a smoke!!! I was shocked but alright, I had payed 30 bucks already. I checked out the club a little bit and noticed that the club smelled like the freaggin bathroom at my university... next bummer.. So I went downstairs for a while to dance and then went upstairs to check out Z100. Sure enough they replayed the same exact songs as downstairs and not only once. As they stopped the hip hop break to play some electronic music I was so happy and thought I would hear some nice house music but nope they played 3 stupid trance songs and then started to play what seemed to be the most commercialised BS I've ever heard. Also I wanted to say that I guess It is correct that there are stupid little kids who can't hold their liquor and stumble around the Chelsea club scene but how come that in a country where you can go to war with 18 drive a car with 18 you can't buy beer ?! In Europe you can buy beer with 16 and liquor with 18 and I don't see kids laying on the street in front of clubs. OK so are there any DECENT clubs in NYC that I could get into without getting a pathetic fake ID? Thanks for reading I'm curious what you guys think. Chris
