Citrine Comes Online
The birdy wire is on fire today. Word comes that Citrine will be set for a grand opening in the old Snitch space on Halloween. There will be a number of soft-opening parties before including Richie Rich's MAC benefit and P. Diddy's Rock the Vote (aka Obama Victory) Celebration. We're hearing that aside from the pricy servers and bartenders outfits, the bottle girls will be decked in real citrine gem pieces worht about $10k. That's some serious bling. We're hope they're on loan.

I thought the opening was supposed to be tonight or next Tues/Weds w. Samantha Ronson spinning...go check Ronson's myspace for her schedule.
It's tonight. We'll be there. You can read about tomorrow.
rhymes with latrine
This place is going to be great!
why'd you pull the gansvoort post just cause people were shitttttting all over them?!
weiner move.
Citrine does not open tonight, if you walk past you can see all the construction that is still going on. It opens THURSDAY with an exclusive party, followed by a few more parties through the weekend, but none of these parties is it's Grand Opening party. That's sometime in the coming week.
get a life
Citrine will formally open on Thursday night. There will be a press event Friday morning from 10-12, and then another party on Friday night hosted by Perez Hilton. We will be open Th/Fri/Sat the following week as well. I am with the management of the club.
perez hilton is so cool
notice that the guy who claims to work for citrine did NOT mention Diddy...i am pretty sure that diddy thing is not a diddy thing and he will not be doing anything at citrine. the place is tiny with an awkward layout. nothing like a street notorious for nightclub related crimes to open a new "hotspot." with 1oak, greenhouse, bijoux, mrwest, and beatrice the cool kids are not going to citrine after the first 2 weeks. another disappointment.
I have a feeling this place will be able to get the same clientele as Bijoux and others. It looks as though it's going to be a cool spot, and it certainly has a lot of potential.
who has richie rich and perez hilton hosting grand opening? 1oak, beatrice, the eldridge, bijoux didn't even have grand openings, this place is going to be whack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First off the person who said the place has an akward layout is misinformed. the space looks great. i was in there today. Whomever said anything about construction was wrong because the space is pretty much complete.
Tomorrow night has a private event for Richie Rich. Friday Perez Hilton has a event from 8-10 followed by a press opening followed by a party that from what I hear will be the best friday in the city. Saturday is private again.
According to my sources (and they are usually right) Tuesday Sam Ronson spins a opening party of sorts. I do not believe they are doing the typical "grand opening."
This spot will be very good. Half of the spaces "diddy" listed aren't even places where cool kids go.
Citrine is a joke . . . the jokes on anyone who goes to this place with the misconception that it might remotely resemble the picture posted here. i went to the thursday opening, and posted a much more accurate description of the interiors in the Oct. 23rd post on this site. check it out and be warned.
