NWR: My LONG NYC Club Rant !! TENJUNE

Original post by AmorPeruano

Okay i know this has nothing to do with weddings but I have to vent!!!

I work part time freelancing for a NY newspaper and they assign me every 2 weeks to go check out restaurants, bars or clubs and then write a 200 word review about them.

So last night I was sent to a club I never heard of before called TENJUNE, on W12th St in NYC.

Supposidly this club is supposed to be some high affluent snooty type club that gives you a hard time getting in, but I never expected what I encountered when I got there!!!!

First of all, there was a guy in front of the club blocking parking spaces telling people that they had to PAY 20 DOLLARS to park on a public city street b/c it was the 'clubs space' and hes in charge of the cars...whatever the hell that means!! What a scam!!!! So if you DONT pay him, and you park there, youll run the risk of having him slash your tires or scratch you car up for you to find when you get back! So we ended up parking 6 blocks down and walked in the freezing cold to the club.

Once I get there, the bouncer is yelling, and I mean YELLING at a bunch of girls, telling them 'get in line or get on off MY sidewalk!' Oh I see, so the public parking spaces and the public sidewalk are now the club's as well!

People were desperate, trying to vy for the attention of the three bouncers 'Oh Alex...please...I know so and so. can you let me and my friends in?' Only to be completely and totally ignored and shunned as if they werent even there!

There were people there I talked to online that had table reservations (500 min per table) and they still were standing outside for over an hour in the cold!

I thought....are the walls of this club made of diamonds?? Does the DJ play music that gives you a damn orgasam? What in the hell is so damn special about this place that they can treat the potential patrons outside like a piece of s hit??

One cute guy came up and politely asked the bouncer if he could get in. The bouncer looked at him, looked at his friends and was like 'dont waste your time' and just smirked and walked away. When we first got there the doorman yells 'theres 2 lines on each side of the sidewalk!' 40 minutes later, another doorman comes out and says 'theres only one line on the right side!!' meaning Every Single Person on the left side was basically now F%#ked!!!!!!!

I'm 28, and true, I havent been in the NYC club scene in a couple of years. I used to go to Soundfactory, Exit and Tunnel every weekend, but that a many years ago when I was in my early twenties.

But never, not once in my life, did I ever see any place treat the people outside with such disrespect and straight out cruelness. I mean why even say the club is open to the public, its NOT. its open to celebrities , their sidekicks, and people who want to slip the doorman 100 dollar bill.

SAD!!!

Sorry girls, I just had to let that out! That was my Saturday night experience! Cant wait to write about it!!

This is why I cant stand and never go to NYC clubs
Same here. I do go to NYC clubs from time to time and I usually know someone at the door or I wont go. Its too bad a lot of Queens places are trying to act this way too. Like Island in Astoria. They SWEAR theyre in the city.


yeah whenever ive gone to island i always see a big line, im just like YEAH OK i stood by the door guy

u need to go with the right people!


Trust me I go with the right people. I just cant stand city clubs. Everywhere I go in Astoria I dont wait on lines for a sec , everyone welcomes with with a big smile, they are nice without the attitude!!!People I know everyone. I dont know anyone in the city clubs


I think by 'right people' all vic meant is to go with people who know somebody at the club, such as promoters, the dj or whoever.

well, Astoria i don't think or consider it as going out. it's a huge church gathering/high school reunion JMO lol

so of course your going to know people there...i don't see that u need to know people when u go out when your with your right crowd...Although
i do know what you mean when u walk into a venue you want to see a familiar face...i guess being in the club scene as long as i have i get that in Vegas/South Beach/LI/NYC weird how many people i know by JUST going out!

anyhoot.

the party is NEVER ENUFF lol

its funny bc honestly when i go to many city clubs, SOOO many people are from astoria. And the promoters i do know are from astoria too. Theres times theres a HUGE crowd of astoria kids and then other people from other neighborhoods that i know. I once read that queens kids fill up alot of city clubs and its so true. Many times i feel like i am still in astoria lol.

I like astoria clubs too but sometimes its good to get away lol, running into ex's, people you don't like and so many fights will occur bc of rivalries lol

yeah i like island...the first time i went there were guys offering us $50 to walk in with them and i was like oh god are you serious, we didnt even get there yet we were on the corner and i saw this HUGE line, as soon as we walked up one of the guys asked my friend if she worked the lines at city clubs bc he recognized her so he let us right in but the line was ridiculous

I never had a problem getting into island, I just hated how they treated my friends. I usually dont have problems getting in places either. But like Denise said, after going out in NYC, you start to learn the routine and you start to recognize the same people. Working in NYC clubs has also introduced me to a lot of people.

By the way, the new club Im working at will be open soon so you guys will be able to drop MY name and get in!!! Its called Touch on 52nd between 7th & 8th. Ill let you all know when it opens.

Yeah i remember one time at SF i went to the hip hop room to escape lol especially since back then i hated house lol and honestly just about everyone downstairs were people from astoria. Crobar too we just kept bumping into everyone from astoria and so many other clubs too.

Thats what im saying, can you imagine clubs with just city people lol...and i can imagine the dancing
