David Jaffee Brings the Fun

A Little Birdy forwarded us David Jaffee's NYC Nightlife news letter and it gave us quite the chuckle. It seems David is now "in-house, and on-staff, at Cain". Translation? He can hook you and your friends up. All you have to do is say you are on David Jaffe's list. But if it seems almost too good to be true, give yourselves a hearty pat on the back. David warns:

The house doormen will do their absolute best to accommodate everyone, but because Cain is so exclusive, they will have to turn many people away - even some on our guest list. Groups of guys must purchase bottles; kindly contact me for table reservations. Please try to arrive between 11:00 p.m. and 11:45 p.m., and in smaller groups, to maximize entry potential without being asked for a table purchase.

So if you are a group of guys and don't want to purchase a bottle, just show up one at a time and pretend you are buy yourself. If you don't like that idea, head over to Prime where you know that bottles aren't required. And don't forget to let them know who sent you.

DBTH there was a fucking hilarious post on Grub Street where they called one of Prime's promoters and he stated they still required a 2 bottle minium. The funniest was the cheesy promoter text exchange. Check it out..

what a joke! NYC nightlife is so overhyped that it's not even funny. douchebag promoters, sh*tty clubs, and ugly women.

from NYMag.com:

Grub Street: Hi, wondering what the deal is if I want to reserve a table this Friday night for me and my boys-- maybe about 5 of us around 11pm? Is there a fee or can I just lock down the table?

Prime: U can lock down a table no prob what's the rsvp under

Grub Street: nice it'll be under Russ Hanes, so no minimum charge for the table or bottle minimum or anything?

Prime: How many guys???

Grub Street: 5

Prime: I NEED NAME AND HOW MANY BOTTLES AND HOE MANY PEOPLE THANKS

Grub Street: It'll be under Russ Hanes, 5 people, 1 bottle? 11pm on Fri?

Promoter: WE R AT PRIME ON SATURDAY ON FRIDAY WE R AT GUEST HOUSE WHICH NIGHT DO U WANT TO GO OUT

Grub Street: oh looking to go to prime, so i guess that'd be saturday night, 11pm.

Promoter: OK SO LETS TRY THIS AGAIN (CAUSE IM FORWARDING THIS TO MY BOTTLE HOST) WHAT NAME DO U NEED THE RSVP UNDER AND HOW MANY PEOPLE AND HOW MANY BOTTLES NOTE 5 PEOPLE IS 2 BOTTLES MINIUME

Grub Street: oh damn sorry, didn't know there was a bottle minimum. i dont know if we can kill two bottles. we're not the most experienced drinkers bro....

Given the promised "renovation of the club's attitude" ("the new club will be built around a new and simple concept 'to cater to the customer'") we were hoping to get a message back — maybe something along the lines of “NO SWEAT I GOT U, JUST SHO UP + HAVE A GOOD TYME” — but nada. A classic case of no money, no honey. It’s like the place has turned back the clock to September 14, 2008!!

Update: We were eventually told that we could go to Guest House if one bottle was all we wanted. Our dreams of throwing down at Prime were crushed.

September 22, 2008 at 07:42PM | Unregistered CommenterThe real LOL

Have you seen his facebook page? Jeez, at least try to get some attractive girls to pose in your pictures....Couldn't pay me to attend his "party." I've seen better looking crowd at the DMV.

September 22, 2008 at 07:44PM | Unregistered Commenterummm

dave jaffee is not a promoter, He is more like a "Spammer". Now he is offering advertising on his newsletter. After the banking debacle, hopefully 1Oak and Tenjune buy an advertising spot on the newsletter. lol

September 22, 2008 at 10:15PM | Unregistered Commenterme

This article is incorrect. David is banned from Cain and not welcome at our events. Probably the only good thing about ceasing operations this weekend is we don't have to hear from him anymore

September 22, 2008 at 10:32PM | Unregistered Commenterjaima

all the posts you see praising him, are by him and his aliases. He is the biggest douchebag in New York City. Most clubs don't even let him in and he is a clown. Down with David Jackass....

September 22, 2008 at 10:34PM | Unregistered Commenternyclubber

hey jaima - its spelled jayma. another fake poster.

September 22, 2008 at 11:03PM | Unregistered Commenterflute

Wow I feel the love for this kid in the room. Just in case you guys havent read the other great blogs about this guy here are a few

http://www.jossip.com/?s=david+jaffee

September 23, 2008 at 07:29AM | Unregistered CommenterThe real LOL

DJs the man. anyone that says different doesnt know what they talking about. Jaffe runs the nightlife in this city. he is a pioneer.

September 23, 2008 at 10:17AM | Unregistered CommenterThaJaySpot

Wow. Such drama. I wonder why people find my life so interesting.

This is just a rehash of when Bruno Orlando attempted to put me down on Jossip cause his 250 lb. lard-infested body didn't get a Jenny Craig sponsorship. I've heard that Jared from Subway is moving onto bigger and better things; Bruno, maybe you can lobby Subway to pay for your liposuction and get you in their commercials. Or at least they can pay for your gym membership so that you can have access to a treadmill.

Lets be clear here with actual facts, not BS / inaccurate information from jealous individuals with the sole intent of putting someone else down to make themselves feel better and pacify their inferiority complex:

1) We run parties, unlike Bruno who can't even get into clubs

A. Bruno, remember when you weren't even let into Lotus? Nobody knows who you are. Hating on me will not make you skinny.

2) We generate significant revenue

A. I don't know of another promoter that's more profitable and/or brings out more people on a consistent basis. Even so, i don't really care about other promoters, rather i'm focused upon fulfilling my obligation to my employers.

Posting false and inaccurate comments are going to hurt me. Again, your time is best spent focusing on YOU and YOUR business:-)

The only way you'll be successful is by working hard. I'm sure that you're bitter because you've failed in your previous attempts to be relevant and are upset that you're a nobody....but... again, hating on me will not make you successful.

I hope to see you out at our parties though - as I've done in the past, I'll be happy to pay you out on the 10 people that you bring.

All the best,

David

P.S. Also, why aren't people posting under their real names? Instead they're making up posts using the names of clubowners in the city - and then spelling the names incorrectly. AT LEAST spell the names right in your attempt to appear credible when authoring a fake post!

People know the truth. They're not ignorant and they know a liar / poser when they see them.

The reason why Bruno is not successful in life is because he has hatred in his heart and lacks the discipline to work hard.

I don't know what's worse, being so pathetic that you spend your days making up fake posts because you're jealous of other people's success, or failing to recognize that the reason you're irrelevant is due to your own immaturity and shortcomings.

September 23, 2008 at 11:34AM | Unregistered CommenterDavid Jaffee

He did anyone catch that Jaffe posted under The JaySpot and then under himself in the same thing. Only proves that hes been posting under fake names. Next time clear the Author part so you dont make the mistake again. lol

September 23, 2008 at 01:59PM | Unregistered CommenterThe real LOL

Good catch "The real LOL"
This is one of the funniest posts in a long time. Poor Jaffee, guy needs a serious reality check. "Models and bottles"....can't wait until this phase of NY nightlife comes to an end. What I'd love to see is a spam like this "C-list B&T: come party with the mediocre and flash all the grey goose you can once you've made it seem like you're "connected" at the door by dropping my name to get in. Impress all your friends with your ultra-coolness by dropping $300-$500 on a bottle! Pose in front of your friend's camera next to a below average girl (in way too much makeup) and brag to your friends later about all the models you were hanging out with Saturday night. Yes, you too can be as cool as other 175,000 people on my exclusive guestlist."
High fives, gangsta signs and middle fingers all around....

September 23, 2008 at 03:06PM | Unregistered CommenterHahaha

First off, it's Jaffee, not Jaffe, and Jon Mayberg posted it first - and then I posted it after.

Unlike you, Bruno, i don't post under numerous false names & hide.

You should focus upon improving your self image, then perhaps you wouldn't be irrelevant like you are now.

September 23, 2008 at 03:06PM | Unregistered CommenterDavid Jaffee

Also, Jon Mayberg brings out more people than you ever brought out Bruno.

He's been doing this for ~1 month.

You've been doing this for ~2 years and still don't exceed 10 people.

who is this imaginary bruno?

September 25, 2008 at 10:16AM | Unregistered Commenterflute

Can David stop fighting w. Bruno and end this distraction from the real article

September 25, 2008 at 11:21AM | Unregistered CommenterB&T

Cool. I love how there are so many haters. It's only 1-2 competing promoters that aren't successful and are unhappy with their lives. They hate me cause they're bullshitters and posers and I've called them on it, so they attack me online, while hidden behind multiple screen names, cause they think it'll hurt me.

Because they're irrelevant, they want to portray an image that I'm a bad person or that I've done something wrong. When, in reality, they're just jealous of my success.

It's actually flattering that people care about my life.

Everyone on here that claims to know me is lying. Fat-Twinkie Eating Bruno Orlando does not know me. The other BS promoters on here that get 17 year old FIT girls drunk and think that they're important - you guys don't know me.

I do appreciate your efforts though. If it wasn't for you taking such an interest in my life then I may not have ever ended up on these paparazzi sites!

Fortunately, the reality of the situation is that these haters will likely never be successful or happy. And, more importantly, there will continue to be an increasing disparity between the success I experience in my life and what they experience in theirs :)

Thanks again for taking an interest in my life!

I hope to see everyone at our parties.
