Saturday brings good weather, good venues and good deals. Today, you can head out to Hoboken, chill on the East Side or watch comedy on the West Side. No matter what you pick, young, black professionals will be on the scene anywhere and everywhere, so why not join them? Here is your Saturday Nightlife Rundown for March 6, 2010.
St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Hoboken – 1pm - This isn’t for everybody, but if you’re just looking for a good time and want to be out on the scene drinking, partying, dancing and hooking up with random people then you might really enjoy this Hoboken craze. Manhattanites and the like will descend upon this popular Jersey enclave at Washington & 14th Street and enjoy a parade in honor of the most alcoholic day of the year. People will start drinking long before 1pm, and long after the parade ends at 6pm, so no matter what your agenda is on Saturday, then the Hoboken St. Patty’s Day Parade is for you.
Socialite Saturdays – 10pm
D’Or (204 West 55th Street): Socialite Saturday continues to be one of the premiere events in Manhattan. When you get to the door, let them know you are on the Joonbug guestlist and ladies will get in free till midnight, and gentleman are $15 until midnight. There is an open bar from 10pm to 11pm, as well as a spa treatment giveaway for all of you ladies in need of a little special treatment. DJ Chino and DJ Kizzy will be in charge of the music playing hip-hop and r&b music. Birthday party people with over 35 guests get a complimentary bottle of vodka.
Wyatt Cenac Standup Routine
Comix (353 W. 14th Street): Black comedians on television are a dying breed, but Cenac is representing an even smaller contingent as a member of the fake newscast on The Daily Show. Yes, that’s right; Cenac is a fake, black, newscaster. Not many of those, huh? Well, on Saturday night he will be taking on another role, that of standup comedian. He’ll be performing at the Comix club tonight, offering two shows for everyone to see. Tickets are $25 and there is a two-drink minimum. Enjoy the laughter.
Metropolitan Industry Networking Event – 9:30pm
Revel (10 Little West 12th Street): This networking/socialite party is pulling out all of the stops, and it wants you dressed accordingly. So leave the designer jeans at home and the halter tops aren’t going to work. It’s jackets and ties for the guys, and dresses for the ladies. Now that we have the clothing out of the way, let’s get to the party. First of all, it’s free to get in, as sponsors Belvedere, Johnnie Walker and others fit the bill. Secondly, the party and the atmosphere are going to be off the chain. Sure, it may not be an all black-contingent, but it will be one heck of a contingent nonetheless, and you will want to be a part of it.
True Saturdays – 10pm
Suzie Wong (547 W. 27th Street): Suzie Wong’s is doing it up this Saturday with its regular True Saturdays promotion. The truest thing about it is that everyone is free until 12am and you better pull out your wallet if you reach the door a second later. Once you get inside, you have the ability to purchase 2-for-1 drinks from 10:30 to midnight and enjoy the sounds of DJ Tony Touch, who will be playing nothing but hip-hop, r&b and reggae music. So come through, enjoy the music, sip on the half-priced drinks and enjoy the first Saturday of the month with one of best scenes in Manhattan this Saturday.
Throwback – 11pm
Union Square Lounge (30 E. 16th Street): This intimate little venue located at the bottom of the Coffee Shop is one of the best well-kept secrets in New York City. This Saturday, DJ Tony Smith will be throwing it back to the 90’s, offering a selection of his own homemade mashups and hip-hop mixes to make you feel like it’s 1994 all over again. Any true fan of the 90’s won’t want to miss this.
