Underbar
Today already looks as if it’s going to start off better than yesterday, so why not take advantage of it and celebrate a break (no matter how brief it is) from all of the snowfall? There’s plenty going on this evening and tonight; so without further adieu, here is the Nightlife Rundown for Wednesday, February 17, 2010.
X’s & O’s Afterwork Wednesdays – 6 PM - Rogue (64 East 1st Street): DJ Envy and DJ Dallas Green will be handling the 1’s and 2’s tonight at Rogue, making any trouble you have getting to the Lower East Side well worth the trip. You will hear nothing but hip-hop and R&B from these two DJs, providing you with the Top 40 music and all-time classics you deserve to hear after a long day at work. There will be drink and food specials all night long, but the dance floor gets so crunk on Wednesdays that I doubt you will want even consider taking the time to sit down and eat.
Kaotic Wednesdays – 6 PM
Kaotic (222 W. 23rd Street): One of Manhattan’s best afterwork parties is at Kaotic tonight, where the cover is nonexistent and so are the inhibitions. There is sure to be an electric atmosphere in the air at Kaotic, as young, black professionals from across the Tri-State area take advantage of a one-hour open bar from 6-7, as well as $5 vodka shots and $4 beers. There is also a complementary dinner buffet from 6-8, so don’t worry about grabbing that bite to eat before you get to Kaotic, because everything you need is already there!
Open Bar Wednesdays – 10 PM
Skinny (174 Orchard Street): Of course, 1 open bar on Hump Day just isn’t enough. And as long as there is going to be a second one, why not make it twice as long? Skinny is doing just that! So once you’re done with the dinner and open bar at Kaotic, head over to Skinny and take part in their two-hour open bar from 10 to midnight. Sure, it will cost you $20 to take part in this one, but for two hours flowing liquor, I’d say you’ve made out well, economically speaking. And if limitless amount of alcohol doesn’t entice you, then maybe the music can get your buzz going, because there will be nothing but Hip-hop, Reggae and Old School music on the 1’s and 2’s, so you don’t have to worry about losing your buzz to any music you don’t want to hear. Contact Drew at 917-689-4308 for more information on the party and the open bar.
Watch the Olympics on NBC – 8 PM
Brother Jimmy’s (416 8th Avenue): If you’re interested in watching the Olympics with your fellow Americans, then Brother Jimmy’s is probably your best bet. They are sure to be serving up plenty of Olympic coverage from anyone of NBC’s many channels. And so long as you’re getting winter sports served to you, why not order some of Brother Jimmy’s infamous rib-tibs and wings to go with all of the great Olympic sports action you will consume with your fellow Americans. And if you’re a Southern American, make sure you show them your Southern I.D., as that can get you a 25% discount off your order!
Mix & Mingle – 6 PM – 8 PM
Bryant Bark: If you’re more interested in some good food and good conversation than you are liquor, than this may be the spot for you tonight. At Bryant Park’s Southwest Porch, you can take part in some delightful conversation with fellow New Yorkers, as you stand outside (heat lamps provided) and snack on some of the best sandwiches and appetizers New York City has to offer. You can RSVP with whitney.eichinger@wnco.com.
New York Knicks – 7 PM
Madison Square Garden: Fresh off a beating from last night, the Knicks return from Chicago to face the Bulls in the second game of a home and home series. Hopefully, the home crowd will help the Knicks play a lot better than the played last night when they lost by 33 points and gave up 29 points to Derrick Rose. As usual, tickets are still available for tonight’s game at the New York Knicks website, and it won’t run you all that much to go either. And if you’re a big fan of Nate Robinson, Al Harrington or almost any other New York Knick, this may be your last chance to see some of your favorite Knicks players, because the trade deadline is Thursday afternoon.
Black History Film – 6 PM
Herbert Von King Park (670 Lafayette Avenue): If you’re interested in taking part in some black film, then this is the place for you. You can view some of our culture’s best in film at the Herbert Von King Cultural Arts Center all day today starting at noon and ending at 8pm tonight. This event is being put on by the city’s Parks Department, so naturally it is free of charge, making it well worth the trip to Brooklyn. You can contact brecfamilyfunseries@parks.nyc.gov.
Great Open Bar – 6 PM
Blackfinn (218 East 53rd Street): This one is for you East Siders who don’t want to go too far away from home. Even though Blackfinn isn’t our usual crowed, they do know how to get down afterwork. So if you’re looking for nothing but a good conversation (and a $20 open bar from 6pm to 8pm to boot) then Blackfinn is the place for you. Trust me!
Contacts & Cocktails for Health & Wellness Professionals – 6 PM
Underbar (201 Park Avenue, Under the W Hotel): This event is limited to people in the health and wellness industry. It will cost you $30 to get in, but it is an extremely great opportunity to meet other black professionals in the health & wellness fields and develop some new acquaintances and contacts while sipping on cocktails. The city-renowned Underbar is a very quaint space, with a lot of elegance and sexiness about it, so make sure you’re dressed correct. Health professional or not, your mint-colored scrubs aren’t allowed!
FASHION WEEK
iFashionNetwork.com Cocktail – 7:30 PM
Gold Bar (389 Broome Street): If you are interested in attending a premiere Fashion Week party, then iFashion’s party tonight should be on your agenda. With some of the most knowledgeable people in fashion, iFashionNetwork.com is one of the leading web portals for fashion industry information and news. So when their employees, friends, guests and designer subjects show up at Gold Bar tonight, make sure you’re there to get your ear on ground floor of fashion’s latest trends and news.
Fashion Frenzy – 10 PM
Le Souk Harem (510 LaGuardia Place): This is an invite-only event, but you may be able to get yourself in the door if you can successfully RSVP with lesoukharem@redhot-pr.com. Hey it’s worth a shot! Besides, this is going to be one of the best Fashion Week parties of the evening, and there is sure to be a ton of big names in the building. Already DJ Nesta B from MTV is going to be in charge of the turntables, so let the hype and over-inebriated celebration of Fashion Week begin!
