La Zarza Makes A Play for Monday
Is there yet another player in the Monday night wars? According to Some Notes on Napkins, the answer is YES! La Zarza, the recently opened East Village restaurant and lounge hosted its first Monday night bash, and according to SNoN, it was a hit, saying "The place was packed with promoters ( some from Tenjune, mansion, etc), modelly girls, even DJ David Morales was there. The spot is beautiful with dark wood, low lights, and surprisingly good house/techno music. The downstairs lounge, which opens after dinner, has only 6 large booth like tables so it will be sure to be exclusive. It reminded me of what a cellar basement at ciprianis downtown would look like. I really liked the party and will certainly be heading back"
It makes us wonder, if every new trend spot is going for exclusivity, doesn't that make them all not exclusive? We will need to consult a higher power on that one. Anyway, good luck to La Zarza as they try to win a Monday following. If it were us, we would probably stake a claim to Tuesday.

I call grammar check on that last sentence.
Aren't the promoters from Mansion and Ten June the same? Just by the comment "The place was packed with promoters ( some from Tenjune, mansion, etc), modelly girls, even DJ David Morales was there" make me think that the place has the recipe that THE REST OF EVERY BORING bar and club has!!!!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......boring!
"modelly girls" in NYC is just super skinny girls with no bodies and butter faces. NYC probably has some of the least attractive women out of any major city i've been to.
"modelly girls" = size 0 = IQ 0 = no appeal!
What this sounds like to me is an owner spending a lot of money on promotoin and having publicists plant stories with nightlife blogs to start the "buzz". Can I call Schill on this? DBTH this is your call...
Modelly girls doesn't necessarilly mean pretty... ive been for dinner there good food didn't realize it was a lounge/club but noticed a roped off downstairs very butter.
I was there. The girls were definitely "modelly" and no butter faces. It was a nice crowd, not overly pretentious (it could've been worse), and the music was very good. But to get down to the lounge you had to know someone OR buy a bottle. Doesn't sound "exclusive" to me. Let's not bring bottle service to the East Village. Otherwise, recommended.
this place sucks
johnny utah's people.....everyone is at johnny utah's on monday. it's no secret either.
anytime anyone gives a sort of good review they are a shill... negative nellies. with 6 tables those promoters are going to fight to the death...thanks for the tip DBTH!
the place is no accident. it was designed by steve lewis for kiss and fly owner corey lane. hush hush but true.
It was a bit new $, lots of bad fashion. Fuckable girls though, so long as you did not have to talk to them, and the music was on point.
Over Under until they close or retool is a year.
First of all I would like to begin by thanking DBTH for their take on La Zarza. Secondly, I would like to clarify that the room had a few industry people and promoters among our guest. That doesn't mean they were working that night. The party is being run by the Partners and Derek&Daniel(glad to have them board).
Lastly, I would like to state that for this party we are counting on having it being about the music(Thanks to DJ ORazio Rispo) the energy and based on the size of the room ideally to our guest or guest of guest.
I'm one of those modelly fuckable girls and I'm very insulted that all of you short dicked long haired greasy scumbags lump us all into one pile. Fuck you fabio! Orazio is the hottest DJ ever!
La Zarza is a great option if you can't handle the dirty crowd at Butter ! Gd, I remember when that place USED to be good....I would definately check out La Zarza and with nightlife experts like Roberto Bucheli, Felipe Velloso and Derek & Daniel there is no way this can go wrong !
