Black Oak Nights Rundown – Saturday, August 9, 2008

Saturday, August 9, 2008

When it comes to Saturday nights, there’s really only two options. One, you stay in, watch the Olympics and Suze Orman on television. Or two, you get out and do something with your life!

8:00 PM – 10th Annual All White Boat Ride, Queen of Hearts
New York, NY 10007
For those of you interested in spending your Saturday on the water, I thought I’d throw this bone out to you all. NiteLife Entertainment is throwing an all-white affair once again, and they want you come out and enjoy the Summer breeze off the water and enjoy the presence of young black professionals from all over the tri-state area. You can get advance tickets for $40, which includes food. Unfortunately, it appears as if it’s a cash bar, so bring your wallet with you if you plan on getting liquored up. Call 646-294-3455 for more information.

10:00 PM – Good Times Saturdays @ Nest
215 W. 28th St., NYC
Ladies are free until midnight, but guys and late arrivals have to pay the 20 buck. For $20, it’s a little steep, and you all know that I’m weary about recommending places that don’t let you in for free, or close to it, but “Good Times Saturdays” at Nest is probably one of the few places that’s work the twenty-spot on a Saturday night full of either free venues. Over 800 people make it out to this venue, and I’m sure they will agree with my opinion full-heartedly. If you check out the pictures for this event, you may even reach the same conclusion from just a few photos. The music is great. The 800+ people are great. And the venue at Nest is at its usual best for this weekly event. So miss this at your own risk.

11:00 PM – A Miracle on 42nd St @ BB Kings Restaurant
New York, NY
I can’t recommend this event enough. It’s one of the best venues on a Saturday night, and it’s been running for a long time. That’s hard to do in New York City, but somehow, they keep getting people to spend there Saturdays at BB Kings, night after night, after night, after night. It’s just amazing the kind of diverse and replenishing crowd they manage to stir up, and makes for a really, really, great party. I’m telling you, my friends and I all love this place and never get tired of it. So if you’re looking for something to do at the last minute, believe me, this is a reliable back-up party that anyone would enjoy.
