housemusic4evr Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Although very few people (if any on this board) have been to them all, which one would be (say from a european point of view) the defining party of NYC nightlife? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubbingirl Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 i said twilo....but i think exit should be an option also. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back2basics- Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Past or present?I think the Sound Factory should also be on there. The first time i visited NY was when the SF was at the Twilo space. There was HUGE buzz about that at the time. There were loads of people coming across. Twilo was to NY as the Ministry of Soundis to London. Most people (i know) saw it as a tourist trap.Studio 54 must be one of the most famous clubs in teh world. Not sure if it defines it though.

cazz926 Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 I have never been to Paradise Garage (obviously), but it has set the standard of what a vibe and and party should be. Danny T himself was a regular there and stated that his goal is to re-create the vibe that was there for his Friday Party that is now being ruined, but that's another post. And anyone that says Twilo Fridays should check their history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housemusic4evr Posted July 24 Author Report Share Posted July 24 I agree Soundfactory (at the twilo space) was definitely one, but hey, I didnt want to make it into a dt vs junior or something poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkFloyd40 Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 figures that twilo would win..i picked paradise garage basically for the same reasons as cazz.. obviously never was there either.. if i had to pick another it'd be arena just b/c it shows the way afterhours here are done to such an extreme as compared to the rest of the world...

xkingchangox Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 I personally think they all have been or are great parties.Personally I miss soul to soul saturdays at Limelight circa 1992-1994 and the sullivan room in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codica3 Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Yeah.. I must say.. I definitely agree with Soundfactory.. Soundfactory Saturdays with JP are like classic, they definitely should be an option.Also nowadays, it seems like a lot of the crowd hoardes to Exit Fridays.. it's definitely making it's point lately, and Draper is doing his thing.

Uh, I wont go there, I think most people would agree that Exit does not belong in this topic. And we were referring to Soundfactory BAR...on 27th, not 46th street...

crystalmethod Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 ThoughI would say my best times were at Arena...The defining party for NYC would be Paradise Garage, that's more the defining party for all house music as we know it. The pure roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specsnny Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Perhaps I am way off base, but I believe that Being one's self is the true nature of NYC. I am not a gay individual, but the fact that one can go and be who they want to be, with great music, DT rocks, and in the city that doesnt sleep, where else can you dance untill 10?
