Ahh, Circle. Long did I wait to make the pilgrimage to this mecca of Korean nightlife in New York, to see if all the legends, tall tales and horror stories were true. Well I finally did this past Friday. After much cajoling from friends I walked up to its nondescript, blacked out facade on 41st right about 2am. Gaggle of gents outside huddled in the cold, gelled coifs quivering in the wind, nary a lady in sight as they've long since been ushered indoors. Oh yes, that type of club. I walked up to the immaculately dressed young Korean doorman and mentioned the name of a friend who had a table there that night, and I was summarily wristbanded and escorted past the velvet rope and my poor freezing brethren, sans cover. Oh yes, also that type of club. A quick $4 coat check later and I'm immersed in a pulsing sea of MAC eyeshadow, mishmashed cologne, silk minidresses and smoke machines. Drinks spilling everywhere. I'm impressed - 2am and the place is packed balls to the wall with Korean homeboys and shorties of every persuasion. At our table we have fruit - this is new to me - I pass in favor of the liquid stuff. When we run out we hit the upstairs bar for a few shots of Jaeger with no hassle. To the dancefloor! Sophisticated stuff this isn't, more like sardine can bump-n-grind, but the top 40 hip-hop soundtrack is plenty palatable and there is no shortage of dance partners. At 3am some dude with a saxophone comes out. I'm like wtf mate, but I'm also like, too tipsy to care. Girls getting booked, waiters trying to book, guys pulling the sneak-and-hump (come on fellas), girls bitch shielding, it's all one big smokin' hot mess. We stay until they shut it down. Bottles are expensive, but guys just buy one and split it with your boys, saves wait time and believe it or not money. 6 shots ran me $50, not bad for the type of place. Very Asian, for that matter very Korean, if that ain't your thing, don't go. PACKED, same advice if that ain't your thing. Music is mostly on point, like Hot 97 with ADHD. Girls, seems like there are plenty of guys here, not sure about quality, but the quantity's there. Guys, there are plenty of young ladies to make googly eyes at, though I'd humbly suggest trying a simple hello to start, instead of convincing yourself that a surprise game of hide the egg roll will earn mad points with that fly shorty.

Not bad for a dance club in Cambridge/Boston area, but if you came from NY, SF, LA, or other big cities, you'd surely be disappointed. Expect no hip hop at this place. It's a small space (for a night club anyhow) with bad lighting and has a bit of a pretentious european feel to it. But don't get me wrong, it's not bad at all, just a bit too mellow for the acclaimed best night club in Boston area. I came here expecting a bit more. $5 to get it and the DJ isn't bad. He played mostly house, electronica, 80s, and pop mix. The crowd is typical friendly early 20s to mid 30s professionals with some outliers here and there. If you want to dress up for a night out, this is the place for you. You wouldn't feel overdressed here nor will they care if you come in your jeans and tank top or tee. Drinks aren't bad but avoid the cucumber martini... it tastes and smells like cucumber dumped in nailpolish remover solution.

this was my first time in Orlando and everybody that had been here before said to stay away from OBT ( Orange Blossom Trail). But I wanted to see why. Well Cabaret Internationale is not one of the reasons to stay off of OBT. The door girl was cute, the waitresses were cute, and the girls...very cute. I wasn't to happy about the Florida 36 inch rule, but for what its worth it was cool. Bring lots of money, cuz the dances and the drinks aren't cheap. Don't fall in love either...to the dominican cutie from new york with the most amazing eyes and smile, who never told me her name, but who has my phone number and name you're amazing. If we met on the street...i'da wifed you up. Good times, good memory. and they still have half of my broken visa stuck in the atm machine. Pop the balloons.

Meow! This Thursday (1984) nightspot is the place to people watch and boogie, if you're so inclined. I happen to think that all of the people that don't quite 'fit' at other clubs, find themselves to be a perfect mess of misfits & right at home, when they get to the Cat Club. It's a good little place, too good to miss!!
