From urbandaddy.com....
At heart you may be a man of the people, but let's be honest—you'll take a stately home over a pedestrian hovel any day.
Call Jeeves. Fire up the pipe. Break out the monocle. It's time to drop in on Mansion, the Miami transplant and latest greatest "ultralounge" to grace the august environs of West 28th Street, opening tomorrow.
Like in every good mansion, there's a 20-foot fireplace and a fleet of butlers and French maids to attend to your intricate needs. Once inside, owners Mark Baker (Lotus, Double Seven) and Eric Milon (Mansion Miami) have eschewed the typical VIP lounge—you're already in a mansion—for more interesting alcoves like the mezzanine library, The Study and The Gallery. Not to mention the soon-to-be-infamous Cougar Room (opening in a couple months), an all-female chamber complete with hairdressers, a cocktail slave and high-end sex toys for sale.
The real show, however, goes down in the main room, dubbed The Grand Ballroom. To add a jolt of fun and spontaneity to the big bottle-box formula, random acts will be brought in from all corners of the globe for spontaneous send-ups. Stop by this weekend and you may see an impromptu performance by a Harlem gospel choir, an opera singer randomly belting out an aria, or a performance by saw-wielding, flame-spewing Grindergirl.
What would the neighbors say...
Mansion, 530 W 28th St (between 10th & 11th), 212-763-9131. Private party tomorrow, opening Friday

I think this paragraph from bachelorvegas pretty much sums up what the owners were going for and why the place looks like it does.
"Mansion in Miami is known for its swanky and posh settings. That is why some of the biggest names in Hip Hop have been known to stop by for an impromptu performance. Celebrities hold their birthday parties at the club in Miami Beach, so you can expect the NYC version of Mansion to attract a wide celebrity following. This will also mean that it will be hard to get into the door, once the club is open for business. Still, if you do manage to make it in, you will get the chance to party like a rock star, with all the celebrities that fill up the club."
It's a shame. I can see this place being based mostly around hip-hop and wanabe celebrity 19yr old NYU students that love to flock to these clubs.
I can also see them bringing in some of the bigger names in EDM like Tiesto because they have a fairly large following of people who will have no problem shelling out $$$ to party with the "best DJ in the world." As far as the week to week EDM scence, I really don't see any hope at Mansion.
I'm gona miss the main room and all of it's antics even more now. |
