Friday night brought the opening of SL and Abe & Arthur’s and they kicked it off with the after-party for the Charlotte Ronson S/S 2010 Collection.
Mark Ronson was DJing and there was still no Lindsay Lohan in sight. The party ended around 1am and I was told it was supposed to go until 4am but A&A didn’t have an occupancy license yet. That doesn’t make any sense to me, but it didn’t matter because the party went down to SL.
I was not impressed at all by the first section of SL. The bar was nice, (great display of Belvedere) and the seating was cool, but there was nothing that POPPED.
But when I ventured into the back room I was blown away. This place is like Beatrice Inn on speed. The room is a rectangle (not a square) and the walls are not brick, but rock. There are also panels that light up on the walls allowing you to clearly see the crowd, which was HOT, and all the debauchery going on.
Avril Lavigne, Irv Gotti, and Phil Weber were in attendance. Along with quite a few members of the Knicks.
I am sure more blod-faced names graced the back room but I was too busy dancing to DJ DL on the decks. There was even a point where Eugene Remm jumped on the 1s and 2s and christened his new club.
SL is definitely where it’s at.
ChiChi212 would like to thank Steve Kasuba for making this night possible. He is truly the man!

are you that dumb? SL will be a bottle/model shit show and its size is not conducive to the the bottle aspect. its definitely not a grungy hipster haven a la beatrice!
Mr. Joke, “Dumb” is a word people stopped using in the 3rd grade when their vocabularies expanded. But I digress.
I don’t mean in terms of a grungy/hipster haven. I meant a place where people can relax and do exactly what they did at Beatrice. That means different things to different people, but everyone lost out when it was shut down.
I think SL will do just fine, but of course we’ll see when they bring the promoters in.
