Nightclub owners are notorious risk takers, gamblers and cowboys.
But you'd have to be crazy to open a new club in the Meatpacking District right now.
Well, welcome to crazytown: Griffin opens this Thursday in the former PM space on Gansevoort Street
after being battle-tested this past weekend for a few private parties. Here's your first peek
inside...
While there's certainly a precedent for
recent lavish openings, Griffin is the first new club to touch down in the belly of the beast in
some time. So if you're starting to get an itch for a bit of opulence or an old-school blow-it-out MPD
night, you have a new place to get things started.
If it's been a while since you braved the cobblestones, head down Gansevoort, find your way inside the
enormous unmarked doors and saunter into what is unmistakably a brand-new club—you can tell by the
oversized chandelier emanating from the giant framed-mirror ceiling, the VIP balcony and the blue velvet
banquettes you'll be dancing on shortly.
Which means you'll probably want to ease back into the glory of the MPD, so start with something that should
feel all too familiar: a strong Manhattan, crafted by the Milk & Honey/Little Branch vets running the
bar. From there, trust your instincts…
And if there's one thing we know, it's your instinct on the dance floor.
