Behold Guastavino’s, a uniquely spectacular Manhattan locale for a wickedly opulent and frightfully swank Halloween soiree. Legendary in its own rite, the awe-inspiring multi-level cavernous 25,000 square foot private event space will transform itself into a sacred lair of indulgence and debauchery this Halloween. Spoil your carnal soul with free flowing libations during a 6 hour open bar. Guastavino’s majestic glass-front bar glows hues to match the mood of the smoldering hot revelers. Surely sinful, inferno, vampy rouges will enlighten Hallows night dark skies. The tantalizing, hypnotic beats of a world renowned DJ spinning pulsating mixes of hip hop, 80's dance and rock resonating off the Catalan vaulted ceilings will lure you to the dance floor for an evening that will surely be immortalized forever.

Unleash your inner vixen and vamp in high style, glamour and incomparable panache at New York's architectural masterpiece that rests under the century’s old historic Queesboro Bridge (also known as the 59th Street Bridge). Guastavino’s is a New York City interior landmark. In Style, Page Six and New York Magazine heralds Guastavino's as the "it spot" for the most prestigious private affairs catering to A-list celebrities, fashionistas, moguls and socialites.

Nightlife is Preserved

So, what happens when you mix all components of nightlife and put them into one room? 

You get the 

Nightlife Preservation Committee Event at M2!

 Last night was an amazing time. It was like an office holiday party for all in nightlife. Club owners mingled with bloggers, waitresses danced with doormen, and bottle hosts shmoozed with promoters.

Chloe Sevigny hosted the event, rocking a “Free The Beatrice” t-shirt. Supporting her brother Paul Sevigny’s West Village nightclub, Beatrice Inn.

Steve Lewis, father of nightlife and Blackbook contributor greeted guests with a welcoming smile... referring to each person as his "best friend."

Upon entrance, cameras flashed while many of the City's scene-makers posed in front of the step and repeat. I quickly found my way to the bar to ask "what's included in the open bar tonight?" The response was what many 23 year olds dream to hear..."Whatever you can drink till 1 am." Once these words were uttered I realized that this event was going to go from a Hott party to a Hott Mess!

The music was obviously amazing and it is no surprise that nearly everyone was dancing. I soon realized that most of the clubs and lounges had their own tables with complimentary bottles. I sipped a grey goose and cranberry with some of the boys at "The Eldridge Table" and then made my way towards the stage. I decided to make myself (and my girlfriends) comfortable at the "Greenhouse" table.

My friend Scott, who is one of the owners of Greenhouse, introduced me to several of the industry's "people." I then ran into fellow Joonbug guest contributer Karim Amatulla, and we laughed about how funny industry people can be together in the same room. It's interesting because it was a bit like a competition inside... Who's venue is better, and who had more leggy models drinking from their (free) bottles.

I would say that overall, the event was a success. Is the economy affecting the nightlife industry... maybe, do the scene-makers still know how to party...definitely!

The NYC Nightlife Preservation Community

As we all know, our current economy is in a major slump, and job opportunities are at an extreme deficit. So how do we get out of it? We party our way to economic justice! On June 22nd, an organization called the Nightlife Preservation Community (NPC) is hosting a huge launching event over at M2 (formerly known as Mansion). The purpose of this reception is to raise awareness about the challenges that not only affect the nightlife industry, but also the restaurant and bar industry and the many individuals in small businesses that rely on the vibrant night time economy that NYC has to offer. Come meet the owners, operators, employees, entertainers and businesses who help in making NYC nightlife the most prosperous in the country. This event is sure to be a blast, hosted byChloe Sevigny, and Natasha Lyonne, and including famous DJs such as Qtip, Marky Ramone, Junior Vasquez, Danny Krivit, to name a few. Our own Jon Gabel, and Joonbug Productions are helping organize such a launching along with Track Entertainment/ClubPlanet, by gathering lists of over 700,000 Manhattanites who are frequent nightclub attendees.

The NPC itself is supported by and answers to the New York Nightlife Association (NYNA) and the New York State Restaurant Association (NYSRA). Chloe Sevigny, co-chair of the organization and co-host of the event explains that, “Nightlife attracts more patrons than the Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Knicks, Devils, Islanders, Broadway shows, and the opera put together. It [also] generates twice as much revenue as the film industry.” Nightlife provides jobs, produces tax revenue, and attracts plethoric amounts of tourists, but it often finds itself in mindless conflict with groups whose agenda seems to be to sanitize New York—and disregard the immense profitability that the nightlife industry provides. The city needs to recognize and cooperate with this revenue potential, instead of fighting it by shutting down bars quicker than a Red Sox fan getting chased out of a Yankees game.

So, come help preserve NYC nightlife and assist in changing Manhattan’s official nickname from the “Big Apple” to “The City that Never Sleeps!”

When? Mon. June 22, 2009         
          9pm-1am Guest List Only
          1am-4pm Open to the Public

Where? M2 
           530 W. 28th St.

Why? To raise awareness, fight the recession, and party - all at the same time!

Admission is by invitation only; there will be an open bar from 9pm to 1am for all, and food for owners in an exclusive section of the club. For more information and details on obtaining tickets, please visit www.nighlifepreservation.com/

Lillie's on E 17th is OPEN

This Victorian pub, which opened last week, has as many personalities as whiskey offerings (44 is the current count, so we're talking about a downright schizophrenic little establishment). Part sports bar, part elegant eatery, part pub—with all the requisite grub—Lillie's is too young to quite decide what it is. For one thing, it's being swiftly colonized by those sports-rooting guys we love to hate (only time will tell whether the football being watched will hear European- or Brooklyn-accented cheers), but the owners seem to aim for a more serious ambience: They brought the pub's antique bar and furniture over from Belfast, following in the footsteps of turn-of-the-century actress Lillie Langtry, a renowned beauty rumored to have had lots of lovers who emigrated to the U.S. Who knows, maybe she's haunting the place? That would make all those jocks happy. -Sheckys

FROM THE HOST:
As some of you may or may not be aware, I am a Hodgkin Lymphoma survivor. I finished six months of chemotherapy on June 12, 2008. I am dedicated to raising awareness and funds for research to cure all blood cancers. In August, I joined the New York City chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training program in order to participate in the Walt Disney World Marathon on January 10, 2009 in Orlando, Florida. Since Team In Training's inception in 1988, more than 360,000 participants have raised over $850 million to support LLS's research and patient services programs.

This cause is very close to me. I hope you will come out and support this festive evening! spread the word to friends, family, co-workers - below is my Team In Training website to learn more about LLS and my story..(OR would like to make a tax-deductible contribution):
