Primetime Thursdays
Check out this weekly event going down at Prime, located at 511 West 28th Street. It’s a beautiful venue, and the party is even more breathtaking. Over the past couple of weeks, many swanky crowds have come through the doors, including the entourages of Red Café, Fabulous and Ghostface Killa. This week, there will be a special Hip Hop vs. Reggae Faceoff, which should be an entertaining display of some of music’s biggest and greatest innovators. Ladies are free until 12:30 with RSVP (646-261-1328), and Fellas are free until midnight. So check out Primetime Thursdays tonight and every Thursday night over at Prime.

World Famous Fridays
In an exhibition of pure, unadulterated fun, World Famous Fridays at Club H2O (24th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues) is one of the best places to get down at the end of the week. I’ve been to the event a couple of times, and it was well worth the price of admission. But you don’t even have to pay the price of admission if you get there before midnight because everyone who does is free. After midnight, it’s $20. The event is a broad diversity of the African Diaspora, and the music will reflect that with plenty of R&B, Hip-Hop and Reggae music. There are plenty of bottle specials and great opportunities for birthdays and other private parties. Holla at Club H2O for the details.

BB King
One of the longest running events in New York City is Saturday Night Live at BB King’s on 42nd Street. So excuse me if you’ve already been, but then again, if you’ve been there you probably already know that it is well worth the return visit. It’s set up in the lovely venue that is BB King’s and young, black professionals from all over New York City come through to partake in the mayhem that ensues. The music, the eye candy, the drinks, the food, and everything else is top notch, and the high quality crew of people that keep coming every week will tell you the same thing. It’s free if you RSVP (text 646-270-2807), and it’s $20 if you don’t. DJ Self and DJ Norie are on the 1’s and 2’s along with other notable names spinning tunes, as well.
