Heaven nightclub in New York City is officially only a memory in the twink (or twink admiring) chapter of our lifes. It's true. 579 Sixth Avenue will no longer be known as Heaven. From this day forward, the 18 and over crowd will flock to 16th and 6th to enter the Candy Lounge.
We're NOT talking one of those rebirth back to basics remodeling jobs with a few new lights and some disco ball stickers. We ARE talking about a fully remodeled night club and lounge complete with new owners and management. Could this really be true? You better believe it is!
You can even get a sneak peak this Thursday if you're not old enough to crack the new 21+ policy in effect at Splash. Alan Picus' campus party goes on for the upper classmen, and you youngin's might wanna get your sugar daddy to buy you a fake ID. This Thursday's 'Campus' bash is hosted by Real World Denver hottie, Davis!
So on Thursday if you're old enough to drink, Splash is the place to be. If a wrist ban doesn't match what you're wearing, then swing by and get a peak at the Candy Lounge (579 Sixth Ave.)
Saturday night, I'll give you a sneak peak of Saturday Nights at the Candy Lounge featuring Steve Sidewalk and more!
The scoop is that Stonewall is opening up again soon. It sounds like it's gonna be an old queen's dream. Edge New York is reporting that the folks down the block at Duplex are remodeling the old Stonewall and bringing it back.
"It’s gonna be gorgeous," a construction worker at the site. I'll have to see it to believe it!
The summer season is always a great time for nightclubs and promoters to try new things especially in the gay scene. If you're just coming back for the fall semester, then I've got tons of changes to tell you about. If you plan on partying hard this fall, then keep reading and keep this as your nightlife survival guide.
If you've fallen in love with Sundays at Spirit, we've got some bad news for you! It's closed for good. Every cloud has a silver lining though, John Blair and Alan Picus are taking their Sunday night soiree back to Avalon.
They'll be taking this weekend off, and the new party starts one week from Sunday.
John Blair is no stranger to the former Limelight space. Back in 2001 we partied under the lights at Limelight to his Sunday night sea of Chelsea boys properly labeled, Drama. Then Blair moved his Drama party to Centro-Fly and announced "major renovations" for Limelight. In 2002, while remodeling the space; Blair and his colleages came under fire for working with nightclub villan, Marvisi. Marvisi is most popular for being Peter Gaiten's competition in the club kid days, and he isn't too well liked or respected in the nightclub community. However, before his fall his empire was nice... we could go on about him, but we'll save it for a different time.
Regardless Blair reopened Limelight as Estate turned Avalon as the "Managing Partner," often accused of being nothing more than Marvisi's figure-head. Blair publicly distanced himself from Marvisi saying the two weren't partners insisting Marvisi was simply the Promotional Director, there to boost straight party attendance.
In 2005, Blair announced he was leaving Avalon and moving to his one time competitor, Spirit. Police closed Spirit on Friday, August 25th for alcohol and drug violations. It will interesting to see how Mr. Blair will fit back into the Avalon picture, but you can guarantee its going to be exciting!
This could just be the boost that New York's gay nightlife scene has needed.
