Armageddon: Diaz vs Levine

Apparently, there is at least one person who is not a fan of the Eldridge. Frequent commenter, author, and girl about town Abbe Diaz let loose on the club and owner Matt Levine in the comments section last week, saying that after her group was personally invited to the lounge, they were still not let in. To make matters worse, Diaz says the doorman made a point to make them wait, saying "even after he is SHOWN the e-mail (which apparently, you cc'd to him?) he still wants to make a spectacular "display" of us, seeing as there's NOBODY else waiting on line (and that's bad for your "image," right?)". Diaz and friends high tailed it out of there shortly after. The next day, Matty boy did send them all some of those famous engraved cards, which they of course won't use. Good times.

I have an engraved card given to me by their "hospitality host" opening week. A few weeks later I went with a female to show her the location. The doorman, Naeem, told me the card was meaningless and proceeded to call matt levine to see if he knew me. After waiting 15 mins at door they said i can come in since it was early but I would need reservations from Matt for my next visit. Inside it was me and 3 other people. Not sure what the point of having that card meant. So much for a service oreinted industry.

Down by the hipster is the biggest promoter of Matt Levine and the eldridge. If I had the time I would look back to see how many posts have been made about it. Do you realize that people go to the Eldridge to see if it is really as bad as this site makes it out to be? My bet is that most people are surprised that it isn't half bad. So either DBTH is in bed with Levine or just stupid

December 23, 2008 at 09:40AM | Unregistered CommenterFOR REAL

or maybe dbth just can't stop poking fun and the biggest dbag club owner of the last few years.

December 23, 2008 at 11:22AM | Unregistered Commenterstua

its not a thread on dbth without a post from the jaff man. keep hustlin buddy, someones gotta get the butterfaces into new yorks least exclusive clubs

December 23, 2008 at 03:47PM | Unregistered CommenterRIPPED

Jaff.. hows the finance industry doing? will you be promoting full time soon?

December 23, 2008 at 05:09PM | Unregistered CommenterKingAdRock

Jaffee - you are such a douche it hurts. You and Jonathan Mayberg can keep pushing cover charge At Suzie Wongs for 17 year old spike heads from Staten Island....they are making you rich bitch!!!!

Eldridge does get way too much support from this site, but then again we trust the authors of DBTH like we trust AM New York for fine journalism. We read it when we have nothing better to do.

And Levine, yeah I have one of those cards. I use it to wipe my ass when the TP runs out. I don't support shitholes run by assholes...but they are great to wipe my ass with. Speaking of things to wipe my ass with...check out www.davidjaffee.com

December 24, 2008 at 12:08AM | Unregistered Commentergg

people levine is written about bc its funny. i doubt dbth cares if he succeeds or fails, the point is he is the butt of the joke. so just laugh at it. go there if you like, no one cares if you do or dont.

as for scenester i think that person is being sarcastic.

abbe - you are whats wrong with new york. you're not entitled to shit so shut your whiney mouth up.

December 24, 2008 at 11:49AM | Unregistered Commenterasldf;jal

Cole Bernard...
what a dork if I ever did meet one, He was biggest nerd in college, was in ZBT and noone liked him.
Got out of college and used his parents scratch to buy into nightlife, Elridge/Porky's...knows nothing cept how to write a check, still tries to bang underage girls...Wannabe DJ on top of it...

Stop beating your face in the keyboard, and try typing wif your fingers. Dumbass.

You are what's wrong with the world. You're not entitled to be such a cock-sucking dick-mouth, so shut your keyboard-beaten ugly face the fuck up.
