One of the serious perks about working at Quintessentially is taking out potential members and showing them why they should join. Last weekend I took out a client to The Griffin in the Meatpacking District. We had an amazing night, the music was fantastic, the crowd was gorgeous- the club is frequented by an eclectic mix of celebrities, artists and designers, and we found it a great place to indulge in some serious people watching.
Inspired by the late 19th century, the interior is filled with velvet sofas, gilded tables and antique mirrors, and this beautiful upscale cocktail lounge is dominated by a huge glittering chandelier. Guests can enjoy a sophisticated night out, and enjoy the impeccable service. The champagne (and tequila shots) flowed freely, danced all night and are now preparing ourselves for the next big night out- New Year’s Eve: it promises to be a brilliant night of fun.
Incidentally whilst at The Griffin, I bumped into the former owner of Bijoux, an old personal favorite which closed before the summer. He is about to launch a sexy new lounge in the Hotel Gansevoort called Provocateur, as well as another PM lounge in February. The nightlife scene in New York looks set to improve still further- watch out 2009 hotspots, your days may be numbered.
