a night out in the Marquee, New York
Last night we went out.
To just a club.
Or that is what I thought.
It was a very nice club and there were a lot of people who looked like they could afford the 350 dollar champagne bottles. We were with 8 people and drank 2 of those bottles and some wodka with it.
Quite an expensive night (we shared the cost, as the Dutch do) but I haven’t been out like this in months so I thought it would be a good, ahem, investment.
I even danced a little which I once swore I would never do again. After a certain age (30?) I think it is better to just sit somewhere, hold your glass of champagne and look at younger people dance.
But the champagne got to me and the music was very nice and there were some other guys in suits aged 50 or 60 dancing too so I thought I would probably get away with it.
I left early at 2:30 in the morning and Patrick stayed until 6. We woke up at 8 this morning so this is going to be a very good day!
This morning I looked up the name of the club and this is what I found:
It’s been called the best club in the known universe; whether you feel the same way pretty much depends on whether you can get through the door. If you’re not a celebrity, a model or a millionaire it’s about as easy as getting a green card, but once inside expect the kind of designer style and deluxe swagger that New York has not known since the days of Studio 54. Set over two floors, a small dance floor ringed by plush banquettes is the centerpiece, with a glittering chandelier hanging over it all. Model waitresses serve model customers in those banquettes, while private rooms with rippled red walls provide a quiet break from the siren-hot scene. This part of Chelsea has seen an explosion of exclusive new clubs and bars in the past year. Marquee is the hottest of the lot.
Right.
Well, I liked it a lot even though I’m not a celebrity, a model or a millionaire!
