House Party Drops on Bond Street
In a recent sitdown with Blackbook, man about town Sebastian Nicolas (Upstairs at Cirprianis, The Box) drops a dime on his latest space. Dubbed House Party, Nicolas describes it as "part art gallery, part performance space, part party space." Is that it? Luckily, we have some additional knowledge. This single floor space adjacent to Bond Street Sushi has quietly been hosting events. According to our on the scene Litte Birdy, the place was nothing to write home about. Our LB says "it was just a poorly decorated apartment, it looked like a college apartment that people were moving out of. I have been there a few times, once for some party for the cast of Gossip Girl. The whole night was people giving each other awkward looks." Mmmmm, sounds like a hoot! But Msr. Nicolas has certainly proven himself as a generator of the fun. We are looking forward to seeing what exactly he has planned going forward.

NNOOOO!!!! The word is out?!?! The comments are true...it is a divey apt. But loads of fun at that. The good part was that it was only packed with friends because it wasn't a "real" bar. Hope this publicity doesn't draw randoms
LOL! another article which shows how crappy NYC social scene is. You bozos go to house parties in ugly apartments and hang out at overrated clubs while I'm going to be at a yacht party in lake michigan this weekend in upper 70's degree weather and little humidity. I feel sorry for all you NYC people.
Chicago Rules, on a scale of one to ten, how much enjoyment do you derive from reading this blog every day to talk about how not cool New York is (whilst making sure to pump Chicago's "yacht part[ies]"). Are you some sort of Chicago travel agent cum blogger? Nothing against Chicago, it is nice and quaint. I just cannot think of any New Yorkers who go and read all the Chicago nightlife blogs on a regular basis.
On the topic of the original post, apartment parties are great - I don't understand why this wouldn't be fun?
i was in chicago for Lolla. I had a great time, weather was sick. but the clubs in Chi have no character or design and could be any place. They're thrown together, bottle service spots. crowd is eh, didnt see too many head turners and i was surprised about that being lolla that wkend.
Please stop talking about Chicago.... Is there a way to just filter out any future posting relating to the windy city? -- I come here to read tidbits of info about happenings, cool or not, in NYC, and I hear this incessant banter about some frigging Midwest city no one gives a rat's ass about??!?
Ha, I'm such a douchy faggot
i was in lolla as well. the weather was indeed sick. Chicago summers are so much better than NYC; it's no comparison. and yes, grant/millennium park are better than central park. sorry, the truth hurts.
regarding clubs, you must have gone to the wrong ones. the elite chicago clubs/lounges are tougher to get into than the NYC venues and have hotter women.
I only just got the sarcasm of the posts. I lose.
Chicago Sucks.. Underground? are you kidding me.. About the only thing it's got is great cougar hunting.
Chicago is perfect place for a nerd like me to get chics! I couldn't do it in NYC so I picked a butfuck city and just moved there. I have no friends but the douchy bankers I work with invite to thier parties so it works out for me.
