- Bungalow 8 UK may be going the way of Bungalow 8 New York. Apparently, the cool debate is on, even though the place has been open for little more than a year. Reports of underagedness and business-types have infiltrated the blogosphere. TBD for good during fashion week [HotelChatter]
- Bored of shuffleboard, darts, pool, and the like? Might you fancy a bout of ping pong? One of two places within Manhattan to offer the game to revelers is, natch, Fat Cat [Gridskipper]
- JE Englebert is claiming that proximity to Penn Station is grounds for nightlife success. Gross. And our best frenemy makes an astute point, calling it all a "hot air" [GoaG]

What JE has done for the industry in contrary to what Guest of a Guest likes to report is very amazing. JE undoubtedly revolutionized 27th street when he opened Suzy Wong. Before Suzy Wong 27th street was going downhill, the clientele was not nearly as good and it wasnt nearly as exclusive. Suzy Wong brought back a great crowd and exclusivity to 27th street, I thank JE for his brave actions. His business model is phenomenal although it was never given a fair shot.
As for the expansion of nightlife into th garment district I was actually one of the first to promote such an idea. It makes a lot of sense on all aspects. Firstly it's an area of New York that has not been revitalized like many other areas. Secondly it's such a great location, Penn Station is right there and literally anyone from New Jersey can make a quick trip in. Additionally, it's also very accessible to all the subway lines that run down the West Side, primarily the N/R/W and L/7 Trains which would make it an easy commute from Queens and Brooklyn. I fully support JE and think that once again he could revolutionize nightlife. I spoke to JE and we are on board to spearhead this campaign. He's a maverick in an industry full of yes men, i guess I am as well :)

Hi,
Yes, JE has done a great job... That too in a little span of time!, it is very astonishing and inspiring too.
I wonder what would have happened to 27th street now with JE and Suzy Wong?!. I too second David's comment and give my full support to JE and Suzy Wong.... Keep up the good work... :)

CLEARLY David Jaffee. Such a joke.
Whaaat? Is this like April Fools or something?
all a stones throw away from the FIT dorms....
...and what more could DJ want than for his B&T clientele to have direct/immediate access to all the spots he's promoting at on any given night? Please, by all means, open more of these awful places in the Garment District. Then there's no chance I'll ever have to run into any of the people that patronize them.
I wonder how soon the Bronx Promoters jump on this one.
haha, i never wrote that post about JE. lol. Nice, at least that one isn't that poorly-written.
Thanks for impersonating me and wanting to be meeee :)
