You know the city’s nightlife is in bad shape when outside cities are coming to your aid. Enter Mansion New York. This South Beach import, taking over the space formerly occupied by crobar and Studio Mezmor, is slated to be the second coming of clubs. With Pucci-print seating, a 20ft fireplace and French maids waiting on patrons hand and foot, Miami’s Opium Group dynasty does seem to have a winning formula. The real draw will be the mansion-themed rooms carved out of the 10,000+ square feet of space. The Study, Gallery, Library and, er, Cougar Room will give lords and ladies of the house their choice of majestic scenery.
The counterpart to Miami's most fabulous hotspot du jour, plopped down in prime Meatpacking real estate. The 2,120 capacity ultra-club is owned by Opium Group impresario Eric Milon (he’s also behind the Miami club), along with NYC-based Lotus and Buddha Bar proprietor Mark Baker. The pair added a too-fab interior with fireplaces enclosed in glass-walls, crystal disco-ball chandeliers, a circular-backlit bar, and swank themed rooms with names like The Study. The art in the foyer, now dubbed The Gallery, is the only thing remaining from the Crobar days. Cocktail waitresses in French maid outfits serve a huge bottle-service arena (where a dance floor used to be) filled with banquettes and surrounded by platforms where scantily-clad dancers, both amateur and professionals, gyrate to Top 40s. Aerialists, contortionists, and a gospel choir have performed for exclusive bashes like Zac Posen's post-runway party and Prada princess Sasha P's art show. — Lauren Salazar |
