David Jaffee Is No Amateur

David Jaffee is more than a promoter. David Jafee is more than on staff at the soon to be renovated Cain. He also has his own Facebook group. A real triple threat. The Jaff says:
We're directly responsible for throwing the absolute best parties in NYC. Attractive crowd, great music, celebs., sports figures, great times :-).
There seems to be a trend where people start up a Facebook account, friend a few hot girls, and then call themselves a promoter.....You should deal with the best and most professional....as opposed to wasting your time with amateurs.
The fact is.... NO ONE CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH BETTER ACCESS, VIP TREATMENT, REDUCED BOTTLE MINIMUMS, COMPS, ETC. IN BOTH NEW YORK CITY AND MIAMI THAN DAVID JAFFEE.
Professional service, VIP treatment and perfect execution.
We also hate those fake ass hustler wannabe's who start FB pages and then call themselves a promoter. Who do they think they're fooling? Fools! Only trust the best. Only trust the Jaff!

Lol I wish I had this resume...
About me: Straight from Myspace- www.myspace.com/davidjaffee
I'm a big nerd yet incredibly motivated to be the best...ever...and i work wayyy too much but i can't help it, and i actually like it...relatively unemotional and even-tempered....I'm VERY results-oriented... i do not like to say much about what i'm going to do, rather I just do it... talk is cheap.. I'm not materialistic at all and do not really buy designer clothes....i judge people on their character and what they've accomplished, not by who they appear to be....many would say that i'm a "machine".. some would call me ruthless, and i am in many respects, but not in a bad way - it's just not good to get on my bad side..I have about 7 great friends...I've known my best friend since i was 3 years old and i love him as if he’s my biological brother....I tend to be closest to those that I grew up with in Monticello, NY (even if i wasn't overly close with them while growing up), I have problems befriending new people because I'm always wary of their true intentions.
Graduated from an Ivy League University at the age of 20. I'm currently an investment banker in midtown, was promoted early and work directly with the chairman of the ~300 person company on investment banking sell-side executions, IPOs, private placements and also assist in managing a fund with $200M in equity....More interestingly, i work as a club promoter for the most exclusive venues in NYC. I simply enjoy doing what many people would characterize as "work".
I live in Midtown Manhattan. My parents just moved to their beach house in Florida so i'll be down there a lot more often.
I'd like to meet everyone. I love meeting new people. Regarding women, I find myself attracted to intelligent, ambitious, beautiful, kind and fun people. Kindness is very important to me, as my mother is the nicest and most selfless person that I know, and I love her more than anyone or anything in the world. Possessing motivation to succeed and achieve your potential is also very important to me. I like cool and very chill girls (no divas plz). Someone that is comfortable wearing sweat pants with her hair up when chillen at my place but can also be classy and stunning when we go out. I don't like girls that tell me where they bought their clothes and “brag” for shopping at Barney’s, Sachs, Zegna, Prada, Gucci, etc...my friends and i used to hustle $8 sweat pants at Wal-Mart by switching the price tags from a smaller size so that we’d get them for $5.50, and they’re telling me about a pair of $400 jeans? Also, i like girls that are reliable and someone that follows-up and does what she says she'll do. Just be true to yourself, I'm sure if you like yourself then I'll like you too.
Pretty classy guy. Tag switching sweatpants at Wal-Mart? At least he got an early start on "hustling" people (his words, not mine). This is a great example of everything that's wrong with the state of nightlife in New York. I wish W. 27th would just fall into the Hudson and float over to New Jersey, where it belongs (and take him with it).
I epitomize everything that's wrong with NYC nightlife? Lol. That's news to me.
I didn't know that working hard & being unpretentious is bad.
You may believe that NYC Nightlife was better when it was littered with rude, disrespectful and elitist people, buttttt.... I sure don't.
OMG!!! I cant believe that David Jaffe has posted a comment below mine!! I almost wet my pants.
i think this man sounds like a kind and reasonable fellow
David Jaffee is the promoter to those who don't know promoters.
His advertisements are all over MySpace, he tends to bring the...
'I WANT TO GO OUT BUT DON'T KNOW ANYONE IN NEW YORK TO ASK SO LET ME TALK TO THE I-BANKER BY DAY PROMOTER BY NIGHT'
...crowd out.
The only thing worst than having to read a david jaffe article on DBTH is the fact the there are now 2 articles. This site is wacked man first it was the "matt Levine" wave now its the david jaffe express lol please please i'm begging you stop posting crap it really wastes our time.
I love it Dr. Palms. It's articles like this that make me want to read DBTH on a daily basis. It's such a form of entertainment. Clearly you have never met David Jaffe. Well I have had the honor. He's about as big of a tool as they come. And he calls himself an I-Banker? Why would you want to have trashy Jersey Hoe's all over you hustle people for bottles, and work at night if you were any sort of respectable I-Banker in the last 5 years (except recently)?
i happen to know david personally. he is actually a good kid. give him a break.
can can someone please explain what's happening in the picture, is she backhading beating him off?
This dude is a joke but that's new york for ya'.
what a clown. somehow this i-banker never tells anyone what investment bank he works at. fucking joker
This guy is garbage, the picture above is from Prey - he has an undesirable crowd and is a creep to girls. I want more articles on David DBTH..PLEASEE!!!!!
I just can't stand guys like this.
"I'm smart and hip"
Duh. He went Ivy League because his dad paid for it. Must be nice to have a trust fund.
Thats F*CKED up!!! Thats a "friend" who copied it off my myspace page!!!
This is some funny shit though, I have to admit. You people are EVIL! I love it!
then why is he at cain 4 years in
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.

Dude, I'm not a promoter and I'm certainly not a cool impressario like yourself. I'm just a guy who has lived and worked in manhattan long before you were even born. I'm not someone who works in the nightlife industry. I just know a dumb ass when I see one and you certainly fit the mold. Get a life.
just b/c you dont like his style of promoting, doesnt mean you guys have to hate on him. he is an accessible hookup to people who aren't in the loop but still want to go out to these spots. hey man, if you are making money having a good time, and are happy doing it, whats the problem?
I'm not sure why everyone is hating on Jaffee. If you've ever met him, he is genuinely a nice kid and is not one of those promoters who says he'll hook you up with free bottles or drinks just to get you to come to the club and then not deliver. If he is there, he is always gracious.
Now I will agree that the places he is currently promoting may not be the places that many of us who actually know the difference in good nightlife in NY, but 4 years ago when he started doing it, they were the places to be and we all know we have been to these places (which is why we hate them so much now). But that being said, as shitty as these places may be, there is still clearly a market for it (people new to the city who simply don't know any better and the B&T).
All in all, from my experiences in working with him, he has been really cool and laid back.
Oh, and he does work for a bank as I had to meet him at his offices one day.
And if you have ever been to Monticello, you would commend him for ending up as successful as he is...trust me, NO ONE in Monticello has a trust fund. The place is about as po-white-trash as it gets (no offense Jaffee), with rusty cars in the front yards and above ground pools in the back.
I'm actually shocked at how he can promote while working full time...he is out almost 6 nights a week, and probably works 6 days a week.
Keep at it man.
Wow I was just told about this today...I don't really care what this joker has to say, everyone is allowed their own opinion but if you like him or not, show you expression at www.ratemypromoter.com (also try beta version 2, better look and feel at beta.ratemypromoter.com ) IE is a lil buggy on the beta so check out beta.ratemypromoter.com on other browsers!
Hope to see your stories there!
Bruno Orlando the "Fat twinkie eating" guy jaffee thinks was commenting earlier
This kid sucks we dont need people like him in the biz. Lets either take him down quikly or let him die a slow painfull death like his parties. Either way we need to move on
The absolute worst promoter in the biz. He cannot produce, gloms onto the previous work of others and is an all around loser. Really sad. He may be a nice guy but as a promoter he sucks. The absolute worst crowd (if he can even get one) I have ever seen. Really, really bad.
His emails are shameless, really pathetic.
I love how all the competing and jealous nightlife promoters hate on me anonymously.
haha. Keep it coming and thanks for the support guys :-)
Sorry that your parties suck and you're unsuccessful but hating on me won't make ya successful or happy.
I appreciate everyone that's unbiased and has come to my defense but... it's pointless and not worth your time.
These jealous and envious people have hatred in their hearts and it's a waste of time to argue.
David
And just to be clear, the people that criticize me on here are not only jealous liars but... there's NO WAY that you are more "connected" cause there are only 4-5 promoters in the entire city that regularly run parties and everyone else are subpromoters.
So there's a significant probability that you're subs.
We make the rules, you follow them and are trying to rebel. Know your role please and work harder so that you'll gain more confidence in your life :-)
Thanks
David

lol. At least if you're gonna write something have it be close to accurate.
Seriously, these AM Nightlife amateurs Alex Castillo and Mike Clemente - ya'll are a bunch of amateurs. Are you even 21? Are ya'll even legally allowed inside clubs?
Bringing out a bunch 10 underage FIT girls and saying that you run shit. Lets be serious. Ya'll are a bunch of subpromoters that don't run ANYTHING.
I make more in one night than you make in two months.
Also, get your facts straight please cause you're ignorance just shows how stupid and irrelevant you are.
I was at Home for 2.5 years. Was on salary at Cain - and will be when it reopens.
Have you ever been on salary at a club? Highly doubtful. You bring out 10 people and are irrelevant nothings.
Remember when you begged me for bottle tickets at Mantra after bringing out 10 people?
Or remember when you got kicked and booted out of Touch that Friday and then texted me to cry like a little baby cause no one wanted you there.
Funny thing is, I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE YOUR IRRELEVANT ASS IN MY PHONE. i was like, "who's this? Oh, it must be that annoying promoter that just got kicked out of the club."
Okay, lets set the facts straight and see parties that I am, or will be in the next week, partners and on salary at:
Room Service
Hawaiian Tropics
Suzie Wong
Mansion
Pop
And no, I wasn't fired from ANY of those clubs you're referring to. Where are you getting your information from? Cain PAYS me and i have checks waiting for me to pick up.
If i recall, i picked up a check for Marquee this past week.
lol. Come on. Lets get real here.
Bunch of jokers trying to rub out my shine. Ya'll are a bunch of jealous and envious amateurs.
Perfect your work ethic and maybe you'll actually make something with your pitiful life.

David
and thanks for the heads up on the front page of my website. that's actually a big oversite on my part. We haven't done Grand in a long time and it's my mistake that i neglected to change that.
Thank you very much!
David
One accurate thing that you DID write, or at the very least it MAY be accurate, is that i'm banned from Home & Guest House.
No one's ever told me that and I was BSing with the Home doorman this past Saturday while waiting for a table to open up at Cain so my friends and i could get seated.
But yeah, i may be cause i got into an argument with the owner buttttt..... we actually spoke this weekend via email cause it's not in anyone's best interest to have beef in this industry cause we all know this is a business and it's about $$$$ and good businessmen know that silly disagreements should never persist when there's an opportunity to continue to make $$$$.
So yeah, that's the one thing that you wrote that's potentially half accurate. lol.
CONGRATS!!! :-)
David
Actually, let me email the owner now and ask him. It'd be weird that you would know something that I'm not aware of or that the owner has never told me.
lol, oh that's right - it's cause you're irrelevant and delusional and just make stuff up. Shoot, silly me for thinking anything otherwise!
and thanks for posting this positive story about me on your Facebook account :-) It's because of jealous people like you that I get picked up by these paparazzi sites which draws people to sign up for our mailing list.
I've had more signups over the past ~4 days then before :-)
Thanks again.

Hey everyone, look at the jackass promoter who is having a rhetorical 5 part conversation...with himself. Do us a favor and shut the fuck up.
PS
Mansion never hired your ass
Pop is a HAMBURGER RESTAURANT
CAIN banned you when you threatened Jaima
ROOM SERVICE doesn't hire you either
and Suzie Wongs....yeah ok. You work there.
ALL HAIL TOP PROMOTER DAVID JAFFEE, SUBPROMOTER AT SUZIE WONGS AND JE'S CUM GUZZLING HE-BITCH
top promoter my ass...shut your mouth before JE puts his dick back in it.
AM Night life gave me a great birthday party thanks guys.
hahahaha. A lot of animosity. I dunno who your source is but you don't know what you're talking about.
The fact that you're SO off with everything you're saying that it's obvious you're a nobody.
You even spelled Jayma's name wrong. lol.
Instead of hiding behind a computer screen why don't you come to Room Service on Friday? lol. I'm sure it'll be a different story then. haha.
Anyway, i'm done with this.
Thanks for caring so much about my life that these paparazzi publications run stories on me which makes me $$$$.
Jealous haters. Munch on a few more Prozac and get yourself normal.
David
P.S. - I spoke with AM Nightlife this afternoon and apologize for what I wrote previously. They're good people and weren't behind the false and envy-driven posts. I'm sorry Alex & Mike - I'll make it up to you guys.
A complete joke, Cain/home/guest house were good years ago! Now no one wants to go there but would rather avoid those places. David, a big tyme promoter? not so sure lol, a private banker? no one knows the truth behind it and so hard to veirfy the firm loooooool!
Jaffee can talk the talk but can he walk the walk? Actions speak louder than words. Why dont you scan your checks from those various clubs where you get salaries from and let us see those? Why can't we see things about you link to banking? A jokester you are!
If i cared enough then I would scan checks, but.....i see no benefit to that and it's a waste of time.
I don't care if you doubt me, that doesn't affect me at all.
I also don't care if you hate me cause I always try to do the right thing and those close to me know that I'm a good person (and i believe that as well).
Fairness and truthfulness are the only things I desire and the posts here have been anything but true.
But yeah, if i f*ck up then i have no problem being vilified. I've made mistakes before too, as i'm human, but the negative comments on this board have been completely false, malicious and madeup.
Oh well. No biggie.
Thanks
David

Stop telling things, prove things. Talk is cheap my friend. Why dont you take all the haterz out and show them how it supposed to be done, what about that? Give us all a time, night and location and let us be your guest and show us all a good night out in town with drama free. Who agrees? please comment back
I'm ready to take the challenge and will ask and hope to see everyone this coming friday night at room service located on 21st between Broadway and Park eve. Be all there around 12 am.
David

Worst promoter in history, a shame to the industry. David did you inform the forum and told them that you have been fired as well from your very small investement firm?
Was David fired from his second firm?
Actually I'm at the office now like a good little nerd! :)
I do feel very fortunate to have a job in finance since so many people are out of work.
Very few deals are getting done except for capital raises where the investor is desperate for cash to fund operations.
But yeah, I'm still plugging away.
Thanks for caring and I wish you all the best,
David
