Has anyone been to the Limelight Marketplace within the old Avalon/Limelight space? I passed by yesterday and went in for curiosity. There was house music reaching the sidewalk, so I was like hmmm, interesting, let me check this out! So I walked in, got dizzy from the anger and walked out, it's horrible.. It's sad, I have some great memories there, and worked there for some time, so it sucked to see what it has become.. A big F YOU to one of New York's most historic nightlife spots. I would probably just prefer it if they demolished it.

Dude... SO WEIRD that you posted this. Just yesterday I was looking up videos on YouTube from Limelight and bumming out. It's my favorite club ever. Was the first club in NY I ever went to, first place I uh :eyespop: :eyespop: ... and the dudes that basically introduced me to DJ'ing and the whole scene many moons ago used to promote and hold residencies there. I swear if I ever strike it rich I'm buying that place back. I heard they dumped like 16 million into wrecking the joint.
YouTube wont let me embed this video but ugh... look at it.

I feel like d36 won't be open for too much longer, the two times i was there, no one was getting drinks, and that space is just too large. It's sad to realize, but it has to be said |

IMO, D36 main problem is talent...
D36 invested so much $$$ into the club that they forget the talent.
They should bring in some limelight with big names first, to get the following... |

They haven't even announced any residents except I guess few local crews. To some of us that's a big deal.
PS... whoever is managing that space, I'm sure has a vision for it pass the dollars. |

went in there today and bought a cupcake. the dj booth area is empty/used as storage; the rest -- including the former library/spider room -- is a variety of yuppified shops.
as far as these type of spaces go, the tenants could have been far worse than the 2 dozen small shops currently in residence [think john varvatos @ cbgbs's, td bank @ everywhere, etc.]. |
