   Fresh Faces

   This week was a week of new faces and new places at Fresh.  With Gabi en route to LA to take a week hiatus from NYC nightlife insanity I tried my best to hold it down. What I’ve learned from this week is this chick puts up with A LOT of Patron shots. Which brings me to my first venue of the week:

   Monday nights @ The Eldridge

    Remember when entry at The Eldridge seemed a little too impossible? Well last Monday Gabi held it down at Matt Levine’s spot The Eldridge kicking off their new Monday party. She brought the entire venue down, tunes from Josh Link(RDV, The Box, GPH) fueled the crowd (her crowd) with energetic hits to dance and make-out to in one’s best hipster garb, and she poured drinks keeping the fire going.

   Observing her every move from the previous week, it was my turn to play kick-ass hostess, and I hope I played the part well.

   Upon entering at 12:30 the party was in full effect. Dancing, crop-tops, DJ Lucas Walter killin’ it with 80’s and 90’s hip-hop in the barely 75-person capacity lounge already packed.  The crowd was an eclectic mix of Le Royale Monday night survivors, some Greenhouse rocker regulars, and my international fashion invasion. We had the seven most beautiful girls from Denmark with us, DJ Truspin from Montreal, along with some fresh faces. With sporadic 5-minute open bars with 30+ vodka shots, a tight door, and amazing decor, there’s no reason you should stay in on a Monday night.

   Tuesday @ Tenjune and Le Royale

   Tuesday was a little too Fresh for Gabi and I this week. Not only did Gabi host a table for teenage heartthrob Jesse McCartney, but I got myself in a little bit of trouble at Le Royale.

   “Remember that time Diplo showed up at 3AM, and mass texts sent all NYC nightlife music heads to little Le Royale until 6AM?”

       Well I do, and for you nightlife sleepers out there, Le Royale’s last night was Tuesday. As you know I used to work in the art deco-tacky-chandelier-strewn venue with kamikaze staircases that housed the best Monday night dance party in the city, as well as the infamous Robot Rock Friday night party, so this place means the world to me. We celebrated with an EVERYTHING open bar all night, as well as five finger specials… Our favorite DJ, Mr. iPod spun everything from lounge beats to The Walkmen, Leighton Meester camped out bar-side, and even a Postelle showed up to toast the last night of our dying debaucherous nights at nightclubs such as Beatrice, Socialista, and now… R.I.P… Le Royale.

   Tenjune:  ”I know we look like we belong L.E.S. but please let us in…”  

        Gabi looked HOT at Tenjune. The place was packed as usual, with the usual suspects; models, collard shirts, little black dresses, and the DJ blaring the radio. But it was a blast. If you love dancing, going out straight bottle-service promoter style, or need a change from the normal bar crawl or lounging at The Jane, Tenjune may be the spot to let loose. From observation Gabi had not only the best table in the VIP section, but Jessie appeared more than happy to have a table of cute girls surrounding him as well… revised edition from Gabi to come.

   Wednesday @ The Gates

   Just as DJs Kieren and Marc-Alan describe it, Wednesdays at The Gates are truely a party to “fashion it up” to “indiepopelectrorockbangers.”

   This was not a normal night at The Gates. This was the kickoff of DJs Kieren and Marc-Alan’s “blackFUN!!!” party, and it was quite the spectacle. Girls sported all types of styles from sundresses, to sequined American Apparel shorts, and guys in this season’s well tailored suits paired with punk rock distressed shirts. And guess who had typical Gates table? In business casual wear, and fancy cocktail club dreses my friends from Dubai stopped in for their one night in the city to party, and trust me, they party. Thoroughly enjoying the “indiepopelectrorockbangers” we danced and toasted to an unusual night at The Gates.

   Join us every Wednesday 12:30-4pm before braving The Box (yes, we admit Wednesdays are a FRESH 10 there.)

   Check in at our twitter to find out venues we hit up daily.

   Stay fresh,
