no, he doesnt, but he plays an awesome weekly party called 'deep space' at cielo on little west 12th st
first i'd shy away from focusing on 'clubs'. you need to be looking for parties, not clubs. (as far as destination goes)
also, you're going in december, which means actually a lot could change.
generally i'd stay away from cielo's parties, because it is overpriced and tends to be filled with bottles & models. you'll just hear beatport top ten prog, techno, fart house. GENERALLY (i am talking about most thursday, friday, saturday parties) You should still check the calendar because occasionally there are gems. and of course there are other parties like Louie Vega's roots party.
As Sand Leaper said, Santos Party House is quickly becoming one of my favorite joints. It's run by pop/metal musician Andrew W K. lol one of my favorite parties there is mister saturday night which is thrown by justin carter. if you ever see a party with his name on it as promoter, it's probably going to be good. guy knows his shit and is a good deejay in his own right. he also throws a loft party called 'easy lover' that you might want to check out.
once a month there is a really good techno party called 'the bunker'. it used to be weekly, but now it's monthly and as a weregild, the lineups are doubled and the party goes until 6 am. it's pretty awesome: http://www.beyondbooking.com/thebunker/
le poisson rouge again has generally good events
studio b in brooklyn has some really great parties. you will find a lot of old-school parties through by REWIND, acid house from DJ Pierre, Green Velvet, real techno by Frankie Bones, Juan Atkins, etc and also some live shows by projects like the field, four tet, booka shade, etc
bar 13 near union square is the usual home of the blk|market parties, which bring in generally good house and techno talent. however i fucking hate bar 13 lol
love in greenwich village occasionally has good parties. there is a regular dubstep party there as well. sometimes FK does deep space at Love. I personally don't like the venue that much. poorly designed circulation.
look out for underground parties. loft parties, mobile parties like ReSolute and minimoo (which will be back i believe).
I would recommend to stay away from anything in chelsea (ie pacha and the like). You will find only David Guetta, Junior Vasquez, and JP and a ton of shirtless jersey guidos and drugged up chinese immigrants. maybe that's your thing, i don't know lol.
again, check it out in november, because a lot can change

That's awesome.
