Verboten actually has their own spot in the works - hopefully soon :)

agree with Noonstar, line-up isn´t bad, but not really a Grand Opening blow-out either.
Esp. with credible venues on the increase, kind of strange.
whip-lash booths are weird, like where Mano Le Saux played, but then, didn´t yours all favorite venue of a decade ago have a sky high booth too?
(Never went, didn´t live in the area then :( )
There IS something to be said about the old fashioned DJ not in sight booths, makes it less concerty, but that is old old school these days everywhere.....
(Cielo still has that a bit cause of the pit, haven´t been in a while though)
Serial Killer

Fur Coat, Hercules & Love Affair GTFO..

Didn't Output take a few weeks to get some bigger names as well? Idk I don't find it that strange. They're setting up shop on Halloween, everyone is booked. Plus opening weekends can be shaky so going all in on a huge DJ the first night can come back to bite you in the ass if something goes wrong... D36 tried that with Sasha and never recovered, started out tens of thousands in the hole.

Sankeys Nightclub to Open on West 36th Street on Halloween

After three years of speculation, the New York outpost of the Sankeys nightclub chain has confirmed an opening date and will debut on Halloween with guest DJs Reboot, No Regular Play and My Favorite Robot.
Sankeys will set up shop at 29 West 36th Street, formerly the home of the ill-fated 14,800-square-foot dance club District 36.

The club announced in March that it had shifted plans away from a 16,000 venue in Hell’s Kitchen to District 36′s old Garment District address. It’s expected to hold 600 to 800 patrons. The capacity puts it roughly on par with Output, which opened in Williamsburg earlier this year. The roving dance music party Verboten will open a permanent club space just a glow stick’s throw away from Output at 60 North 11th Street in the coming weeks.
Sankeys’ vaunted original branch in Manchester announced in April that it would shutter. Club chief David Vincent and his crew recently wrapped up the franchise’s Ibiza season. Mr. Vincent told Resident Advisor that he had “always wanted to live and open a club in my favourite city in the world since I went to Vinyl to see Danny Tenaglia in the early 2000s. If we can achieve even half what the great clubs like Sound Factory, Paradise Garage and Tunnel did for the city then I will be more than happy.”
how can you mention sound factory and paradise garage in the same sentence... clueless.....

I'm sure he's talking about the Sound Factory on 27th Street (which became Twilo) where Junior Vasquez had his legendary residency.
It was hugely influential for British clubbers in the early 90s.

how soon one forgets, had to look at the line up, you´re right about Output of course.
your comments about ramping that up make sense, not being a backbround person, don´t pay attention to such historical data. so a big splash just seemed the thing to do.
we can only hope for the best, parking there is crap though.
with Verboten now opening up right by Output, and with Sankeys too, can the city really take this competition?
Short term this will be great, even more decision hell for sure, but long term, wonder if they can all keep it up, without the venues selling out for bucks.
LAST thing we need is for Pacha to decline so much for ex. that it goes away and THEIR crowd comes knocking.
jes wondering

I am in for Nov1st.
I don't know the style of any of the DJ's on the line up so I am in for a surprise.
Also, I am 100% sure I saw a pic of D36 with the booth half way down (right before the closed)
